This included an understanding of the shifts in paradigms as tentatively indicated in the use of terms like Web 2. 0
Web 3. 0 and even Web 4. 0. Deliverable D8. 1 also argued that ICT in an historical context represents a decisive techno-societal paradigm shift as a new general-purpose technology
A more apt comparison with the current impact of ICT and internet might be 17th century England
and at a scale that was unimaginable before the rise of Internet-enabled collective platforms. 1 Tepsie includes in its definition social innovations
With the rapid growth of cheap, ubiquitous and powerful tools like the internet, the world-wide-web, social media and smart phone apps, new ways of carrying out social innovation have become possible
This is now possible more than ever before using the internet or mobile apps to link, almost instantaneously and regardless of distance,

On the one hand, some see a brave new world of highly skilled individuals selling their talents in a global market place over the Internet, playing off potential employers against each other (Tapscott & Williams2006),
Networks such as Linkedin allow people to stay in touch with potential work partners much more easily,
People are able to work much more flexibly due to the availability of‘cloud'technologies (not a particular website/app,
Much more often, young job seekers use family and other contacts as well as the Internet. The Internet can also be used to match work
or tasks which people need doing with those willing and able to do them in real or very quick time,
as well as completely new types of work such as web-design, app development, software programming or any other types which need ICT
Eslife has a website with simple navigation in 3 steps: i) notification of work or a task which needs doing,
and also runs a blog with news, information and practical tips. As in the other two cases, Skillandar provides a database of the task provider's skills and conditions,
External communication is handled mainly by social media (Facebook and Linkedin with Mailchimp for newsletters. ICT is used alongside physical and traditional training workshops,

The Hackney CAB Crowdmap case uses free and low cost online tools and platforms (website, mobile and social media) to create a multidimensional campaign to gather stories and raise awareness of the impact of housing benefit changes in Hackney.
It used Wordpress a free blogging platform to create a website that includes information on the changes,
shows a map of the impact and shares research findings; Crowdmap a free mapping and information visualisation tool to map stories to show the impact at a local level;
and Facebook the most popular online social networking tool to reach more residents of Hackney. These free online tools meant that Hackney CAB Crowdmap could reach the community

and all were were added to the map on the website to provide an easily accessible and illustrative visualisation of the housing benefit problems in Hackney.
Hackney CAB Crowdmap carried out research into the housing market in Hackney and published research findings on the website.
The results of a mystery shopping housing exercise and the online impact map were shared through social media
The IOBY case connects people and money to site-based projects all of which are conceived, designed, and run by neighbours.
Another barrier in the Eastserve case is data security due to the citizens'PCS connected to the Internet
Many of the people whose stories it sought to highlight did not have access to the internet at home.

The Athens Time Bank case has adopted standard ICT solutions for web and mobile as free of charge open source e-platforms,
Social media and social communication tools (like Skype) are used also. The ICT operates together with traditional and physical activities
The Cookisto case similarly uses standard online internet and mobile platforms for all contact, in this case for swapping,
It also uses social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to take pictures of the dishes.
The Foodies (those who buy the dishes) can comment and score the meals provided by the Cooks through the social media
which is used also to communicate and create a community and to publicise the service. Non-ICT tools like television, radio
The Streetbank case uses online internet and mobile platforms for all contact for sharing assets.
Streetbank recently launched Streetbank 2. 0 as a much improved, faster version of the website,
The website provides a variety of offline tools for encouraging participation, such as fliers, custom posters, customised neighbour invitations
The Repair Cafés case uses standard technology in the form of an internet platform supporting online communities on a local, national and global level.
It uses Facebook and Twitter to support discussion and raise awareness, using text, photos and videos,
enabling members to illustrate discussion and show problems, making it easier to find solutions and volunteers to help.
It provides a global open data database of over 60 million companies in 75 jurisdictions, together with web scraping, reconciliation functions, analysis and visualisation tools,
a platform for doing data science on the web, to help get corporate data by scraping it from the web.
The site also has a Google Refine reconciliation function that matches legal entities to company names.
The core business of Opencorporates is to collect data on companies through web scraping tools and then to visualise the data
which is mainly from company registers, but also from a wide range of other published datasets, both national and global.
but generally leaves communities to use the site without interference. The platform and its physical activities fosters trust, reciprocity and mutualism which together contribute to the forging of long-term relations, loyalty and the fostering of a spirit of community based on the sharing process.
Another barrier is lack of computer skills and Internet literacy which can preclude people from participating on the online platform.
Another barrier for the Repair Cafés case is lack of computer skills and Internet literacy
