MySpace... I should join that. I think it's growing like crazy and doing great.

If anyone wants to communicate with me they can use my e-mail or the old fashioned (and indispensable) telephone. If it concerns caving or may be of interest to cavers, what's wrong with [email protected] or OT?

Recently cavers have been posting interesting historical photos, and socializing in a way that was never done on CaveTex. Just in the past few days, there have been interesting discussions about Mr. Jasek's caver panorama shots. Maybe a few of you haven't got on Facebook yet, but nearly ever Texas caver has. Many are having productive discussions amongst themselves that were not possible on Cavetex. Last year, several large caver gatherings benefited from the Events planning feature of Facebook. This feature is ideal for planning caving gatherings. As mentioned before, several grottos have their own Facebook page, as does several caving organizations in Texas. Below is an example: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=28567352179 I am not saying CaveTex is obsolete. It is just a different form or resource for communicating. Potentially there are dozens of Texas cavers on Facebook that are not on CaveTex, and also hundreds of people that could potentially be good cavers or make some form of constructive contribution to the protect caves and bats. I have made a faithful effort to move all my ranting to Facebook, and many of the other things I used to post about. Most other cavers have too. It does not look like Facebook is going away anytime soon. All the latest cell-phones have Facebook built into them, as will the upcoming portable tablet gadgets, that cavers will soon be travelling with on their road-trips. The only logical course now is to find ways to use Facebook to make caving in Texas even more fun, or productive. For example, a cave rescue call-out might be more productive on Facebook, or an invitation to the Kiwi Dig project. You would just need to create a page for those and invite your Facebook friends to join, and eventually you would have a base of support for that particular project.
