The DSOBS - The Doon School Old Boys' Society An exclusive application for Doscos, the alumni of The Doon School, Dehradun. Most features are for Old Boys only (Sign In is post a verification and approval by the DSOBS Office). Some features, like the Rose Bowl Publication, Doscos in the News and Footsteps (Social Work by Doscos) are accessible to all. The App allows Old Boys to connect with each other and the community as a whole, message each other privately and in interest based Common Rooms, to receive notifications on DSOBS events, social and business ventures undertaken by Doscos, a jobs and careers section (for Doscos and people Doscos recommend for jobs), and to get a detailed, search enabled view of each others professional and personal profiles. The App maintains the highest levels of encrypted cloud based security. Further measures are takes to ensure that the quality of interaction between Old Boys is of a certain standard of integrity. All private messages and interactions in the common rooms are rated to display the usefulness of a member's messages and comments; and, the total number blocks and black lists accrued by an individual member. Doscos using the app are requested to create an online space of support, acceptance, humor, camaraderie, honor, usefulness and integrity. As Doscos, living up to the ideals set by our founders and our experiences in school, we aim to give back to society at large. To further this endeavor we have the Footsteps section that showcases actions undertaken by Doon School's alums to serve as inspiration for more Doscos to join them in these, and to start new initiatives to serve the common good of our fellow beings. Our school motto as always is 'Knowledge Our Light', and purpose of the DSOBS is to create a community of service into which a boy enters - an 'Aristocracy of Service'.

About

ChattyMatty

Read full description

Let’s face it, dating apps are often about the looks and hook-ups. ChattyMatty is different. We’ve created a social environment that’s about meeting people based on shared interests. It’s not about the likes and it’s not about dates. ChattyMatty is designed for meaningful, in-depth interactions and conversations, where users are encouraged to engage in chatter that matters—for whatever reason.  There is no swiping right on ChattyMatty, and in fact, we think the right swipe is possibly the worst invention since the Segway, plastic grocery bags and hydrogenated oils. Imagine all the missed extraordinary opportunities and late-night conversations, interactions & lasting friendships because the left swipe forgot to photo-edit their picture with their fabulous fake weekend in Dubai last night, or because an app simply doesn’t exist for someone who just wants a new bestie to talk to on the phone for hours. Users connect based on their sparkling personalities and ability to hold a conversation. Think of the type of connection or friendship that can create. ChattyMatty is a safe environment where the exchange of inappropriate pics is not a thing. Read that again. Rare you say? We think so.  ChattyMatty users can ask another Matty for help perfecting an apple pie recipe, or just hang out and get chatty with someone who also enjoys golf, for example. The point is, if you’re looking for a hook-up, keep on swiping. On the other hand, if you’ve been lonely these past couple of years and are looking to reconnect and re-socialize in a way that’s a little less intimidating than stepping out the front door, you’re in the right place.
