Features

dol2day provides several features for its members (“Doler”). Users are able to keep and maintain a personal page. This page contains information about their name, age, contact details, interests, friends list, political preferences and group as well as virtual party memberships within dol2day. Doler also have the option to upload a photo on their personal page. Furthermore the website provides a private messaging service for its members and an internet radio[1]. dol2day is comparable to other social networking sites.


Users can start public-opinion polls about political and social topics. In these polls all Doler are able to discuss the issue and to evaluate articles by other member.


Doler are accessed to vote an “Internet Chancellor” for a period of four months. This “Internet Chancellor” organizes chats with politicians and other celebrities (e.g. Franz Müntefering, Christian Wulff, Günter Verheugen)[2] and starts referendums to develop the community. But the ultimate decision makers are the owner of dol2day, DEESITE GbR, a German company constituted under civil law.


From time to time Doler are holding local real life-meetings.
