We shouldn’t forget that social capital is a concept based on an economical view. People are ready to strengthen their links if they see a possible benefit in two possible senses: first, to gain status or comfort (earn money, make business,etc.) and second, to keep the present status or comfort (Nan Lin, 2001). Finally, the idea that Social Networks help to bring “disruptive creation” was introduced in 1995 by Clayton M. Christensen who first introduced the disruptive technologies. He classified them in two types: the lower end: for new market niches not considered before, and the lower end: for non existing markets. The web 2.0 was a disruptive technology or a disruptive innovation for lower end. Most of the ITC creations we are discovering in these years are lower end disruptive innovations and that’s why we always get impressed and have to change and learn so quickly. Social Networks make this transition easier by getting the support of the members and learning collectively. Humans are network animals.

The basic idea is that some innovations will appear as simpler, cheaper or even inferior solutions when compared to traditional technologies. In the early phase such innovations will serve a marginal or completely new market segment. Over the time, however, as the performance of the disruptive innovation improves (often faster than what is demanded by customers) it will be able address the mainstream market, displacing incumbents.
