Online Cavers.com is a brand-new fully-customizable social networking site that lets you share videos, photographs, start your own blog, and even listen to music while you browse the site. You can upload your own videos, or use the embed codes from YouTube and Google videos to add videos to the site. Check it out!
The new banners on this website really liven things up, and are the work of Mike Dale and Craig Hirshman, using the video of maestro Dave Socky. 01/08
