Abstract
Both the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the European Union believe that information and communication technologies (ICTs) have potential to transform the way in which we work. Many organizations, including those of the Third Social Sector, have to incorporate the web 2.0 tools and social software into their structures and their daily activity. The aim of this article is to analyze whether these tools are regularly used by institutions of the Third Social Sector in Catalonia in an attempt to transform their daily tasks and move towards a change in their organizational culture.
