I am still sort-of optimistic that cavers will someday find a use for Google+, as either a supplement to Facebook, or a replacement.
There are 2 NSS sites on Google+. One is the official page of the NSS that only sends out official news announcements, and the other is sort of a chat-page where cavers can post whatever they want. The chat-page now has 99 members, but I have no idea how many of those actually view it. https://plus.google.com/communities/100328245514364040731 I did not create the chat-page, but I had been following it because I thought it was a great idea. The official page now has 626 likes, and over 300 people have it in their Google circles. I bet almost all of those are cavers, but many are overseas. I haven't been following the page for a few months, but that is only because I have not been on-line much lately. https://plus.google.com/111610247864593899054/about Both of these pages link to one another. There have been some good photos posted of the remodeling of the NSS Headquarters. What is really great about these 2 pages is the regional caving announcements that are posted. This helps organizers of these events, and helps cavers learn about events they were un-aware of. For example, I have never heard of the YTR. http://www.youngtimersreunion.com/ David Locklear
