| | 5 | Dolphin is a marine mammal and a web-software platform that you can download and use to build your own niche social network, community site, online club or an interest-based social website. Dolphin is designed to be simple, easy to use and customise. One doesn't have to be a programmer or web-designer to operate a Dolphin-powered website. Some understanding of web-servers, web-development, site administration, etc, would be beneficial, however. |

| | 7 | Dolphin is an independent, self-hosted solution. This means that once you setup your site - you own it, you take care of it, you reap what you sow. This is a huge benefit, especially if you ever plan to turn your site into a profitable business, but this may imply certain level of involvement on your part. You need to update the software periodically, moderate content of your site regularly and pay for web-hosting. |

| | 9 | Dolphin comes packed with [http://www.boonex.com/features tens of modules and thousands of features]. It is always a good idea to "activate" only those features that are absolutely needed for implementation of your idea. Turning everything on may result in a cluttered interface, increased server load and diluted focus of your site visitors. You can extend Dolphin functionality even further by using modules, plugins, templates and language packs from [http://www.boonex.com/market Boonex Market]. |

| | 11 | Dolphin is an "open source" platform, which means that you can modify it to suit your specific needs. Any modification, however, may complicate future version upgrades, so think ahead. |
