What is Dolphin?

Dolphin is a popular and prominent social network software that lets you create and maintain highly customizable profiles, and use these profiles to view and share events and contents through the main page of the website. The software is considered to be a perfect solution for anyone looking to create strong communities that keep members intact. Some of the default features included in Dolphin are:

•      • Chat
•      • Ads
•      • Facebook Connect
•      • Events
•      • Family Connections
•      • Flash Video Messenger
•      • Polls
•      • Photos
•      • OAuth2 Server

With Dolphin, you can create your social community in your niche of choice. It puts you in the driver’s seat as you create your own social networks, dating sites or any other community network for that matter. One great thing about this software is that it is open source, meaning you have the ability to customize and expand it as you please, without any limit.  Best of all, it’s available via 1-click installation using Softaculous – part of your hosting account.

And by “without limit” we mean you can add custom features and designs – Dolphin is hosted on your own server, so you have full control over your content and users. No one gets to tell you how or what to do with your site. So, whether you want to serve your own ads, promote your brand, add and invent your features or get all the money if you choose to sell the site and enjoy your success – it’s all up to you.

Dolphin also allows you to give options like connecting with family, friends and other contacts on your social networks. With the platform, your users can follow each other, add friends among other forms of connection. Above all, it lets users share content (including videos, text, audio, images and so on) with other members without any restriction.
