It looks like at least 100 Texas cavers are on Facebook, and conversation is more active there between cavers than on CaveTex.
I have only been there a month, so I don't know when Facebook became so popular among Texas cavers. But it seems that ICS generated a reason for cavers to connect with each other on Facebook. I certainly can now identify more Texas cavers by face and name than I could prior to ICS and Facebook. I only wanted to point that out, because it could have a positive effect on Texas caving, and in 10 years we can look back and note that something occurred on the caving scene in the summer of 2009. I don't think it is a fad. I think as more and more people grow accustomed to texting on their portable gadgets, that cavers are going to be in almost constant contact with one another. That is completely different, from the way cavers organized trips just 10 years ago. I was still mailing post cards, or making land-line calls.
