Its not the leaving of Twitter that grieves me.....
July 26 at 3:18 pm - Link
I could leave Twitter though, b/c I only use it to feed FF. However, I now have followers on FF that I engage w/far more. It was a day or two before I realized twitter had even dropped s/of my followers, b/c I likely have already subbed w/most on FF before the Internet Duct Tape importer stopped working properly - which is probably when I lost more interest in Twitter. I luv the photo and conversation features of FF, that is why Twitter did not hold my interest for long. Besides, I do not care if you are driving to the grocery store, unless you bringing home my bacon...LOL. - Ruth Ferguson

Ruth excellent point - that's why I think Gaping Void could do it too now. It's now much more possible to leave Twitter than it was back then, and for the most part (about 1/2 my followers and people I'm following are on FF now) you won't be leaving your followers and the great networking tool behind. - Jesse Stay

I have to believe this is fake? - Jeff B

That's not fake. It looks like Mavericks near Half Moon Bay (it might not be, though, but there's plenty of video out there for Mavericks that look just like this). They had 60-foot waves in December and regularly have a surfing contest for big waves that look like this. - Robert Scoble
if this is not a fake i have a question: what happened to the jet ski? - ouriel
Ouriel: the jet skis usually go to a place where the waves aren't breaking. When you visit Half Moon Bay I'll take you out to Mavericks so you can understand this. - Robert Scoble
That is just amazing. - Dennis Jackson
This is real. Lookup tow-in surfing. You're right Scoble, Mavericks is a world-class break for tow-in. I wish I lived in Cali so I could get out there!! - Granteezy
Sorry, It's not Mavericks...It is break in Hawaii called Jaws. Won the XXL Big Wave Award...I believe over 60 ft wave. And believe me, it is real. Here is Billabong site w/ more footage from places like Cortes Bank, CA (middle of Ocean where ocean floor comes up), Ghost Trees, CA (Northern CA), Jaws, Hawaii. and Teahpoo,Tahiti http://www.billabongxxl.com/ma... - Pokai
@Pokai - Jaws is sick. If anyone is looking for more "biggest wave on Earth" surf action, check out Billabong - Odyssey - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt03... - Granteezy
Check out the video called "Step into Liquid" if you want to learn more about tow surfing, where it is done and the people who do it. - Jeff P. Henderson
whoa, that's like 3 or 4 storeys of water coming down! - Shannon Low via twhirl
they call heavy wipeouts...being "rag-dolled" - Pokai
@pokai i was gonna say that looks like jaws, but you beat me to it. jaws is known for breaking tow-in surfing - Chris
From 2006, which I think is when I first watched it. Still amazing though - Charlie via twhirl
yes @chris, all the big wave spots have distinctive look...mavericks looks more like dark cold water peak (which it is) and video is usually taken from boat in channel, teahpoo in tahiti is a left and is evil heaving mass of water, ghost trees video is mostly taken from shore on a cliff and jaws looks like above...a right fast moving wall of water. surfers named it jaws because it is like a shark...it keeps coming at you... - Pokai

Is it worth starting your "friend" list again?? Will the people who care what you're doing even follow you to *another* site? Since there's no direct feed to FF, is it even worth being an early adopter on this site? - David Cook
David - Let me be crystal clear here. Friendfeed is my 'communication home' ... period. No ifs, ands or buts. Thought it was utterly amazing how many people jumped on a 'virtual unknown' and still are. - Charlie Anzman
@Charlie - is it just LOL ... I joined just to secure my id cuase I do think this could have legs as long as Twitter remains having problems. If they really do a push and get things working then this will be just an interesting experiment - Steven Hodson

My mother received a death threat last night, and T-Mobile won't do a thing about it.
July 1 at 9:44 am - Link
Really glad to see all the FF ------------ are interested in people's safety. ---- --- to the latest social networking site, yes. But care when someone's threatened with death, no, that's too mundane. (Edited this because it was too distracting, sorry. -- R.) - Raoul Pop
39 more comments
I hope this works out OK for you and your mother. - Dave Roth
Raoul - this is scary stuff. I hope that it was just some sort of misguided prank. Does your mom have any guesses who it could be? - Andy Roth
None at all. Doesn't recognize the voice. - Raoul Pop
This is pretty messed up. I'm sure the police are capable of getting the court order without your having to hire a lawyer. I hope your mother isn't planning on being home alone on Friday. - Rafael Robayna
Whoa, Raoul. I'm really sorry this happened to your mother, and clearly you're very upset, but how does going after people on the internet make this situation any better? Honestly, I'm not surprised by this as it reminds me of the kind of response people get from the police when they try to make a complaint about internet stalking. Sadly, most organizations won't get involved until actual physical contact is made, meaning you can lay eyes on the person. It's sad, but true (and common). - Cecily
Bad situation, but aren't there rules about how corporations must protect private data? Just get the court order. Once the person is revealed, get the court costs back from them. It sucks, but that's the world we live in -- would you want a company to reveal any information about you that they are supposed to keep private just because a police officer asks them? - Jeremy Brooks
Cecily, it's discouraging to see that until I posted that comment, no one even cared about my post. People don't care about these things until they're shoved in their face. My comment was one way to draw attention to the story, and I can't say that I'm entirely off the mark in my characterization. Jeremy, I wouldn't mind it if it involved a death threat. This is one situation where protocol needs to be circumvented. Clearly so. - Raoul Pop
Is it possible, Raoul, that people haven't seen it yet? I know I didn't see it until I posted the comment. - Cecily
When I first saw it it said it had been up 18 minutes. Also guilting us into commenting on your post isn't the best way to go about things. Having worked with the police department before there's really nothing you can do about most phone calls like this. Its sad and its scary but please don't trick me into commenting on your post. BTW I guess it worked :) - Sean Davis
Maybe. It's also possible that when someone posts about FF or GR or Facebook or MySpace or Microsoft or Google or Apple, ears perk up right away. It's also possible that I'm distraught and angry at the moment, and I'm working off a short fuse. You make the call. - Raoul Pop
If the law does not provide for circumvention of protocol, they have to follow the rules. The rules don't apply just when it's convenient for us. - Jeremy Brooks
Raoul, this is a terrible thing that has happened, I'm sorry to hear it. That said, this is the first time that I'm seeing your post. For those of us who follow a lot of people, we don't see 100% of what everyone posts so I think it's a bit rough to call FF people navel gazers. Part of why less people see a post like this is also because people don't want to "like" it, even if they do want to promote it or bump it because people might be confused that a "like" means liking what happened to your mother. - Thomas Hawk
Convenience my foot, Jeremy. If you don't get the seriousness of the situation, please hit the Hide button. Your comments aren't helping. - Raoul Pop
I hope they catch the person that made this death threat. That's a horrible thing for someone to have show up on their voicemail. - Thomas Hawk
@Cecily Yeah I only saw it just now. Raoul is understandably upset - Shey
Raoul, you are obviously upset (originally you called us all asses -- I see you have edited that out). I understand that this is a serious situation, but that doesn't mean you can change the rules. Hopefully you will be able to get the process of a court order expedited so that the police can do what needs to be done. - Jeremy Brooks
I agree with Jeremy, maybe the best advice you've gotten so far on this issue. - Rafael Robayna
Is this on digg? - Jeremy Brooks
digg seems inappropriate for this - Rafael Robayna
Just a general rule of thumb: The fact that people aren't "liking" or commenting on your posts doesn't mean they aren't being read or clicked through. - Kyle Hebert
Hey Raoul, my sympathy is with you and your mother. I'm not sure what the best way would be to handle the situation though other then notify the authorities. As for getting people's attention, I'm not so sure FF is the BEST avenue. Like Thomas Hawk mentioned, post here get covered very quickly unless someone catches it and comments it or likes it. In any case, good luck and I hope you find justice. - Justin Korn
People respond to social networking news because it's relevant and important to *them.* It's not that your mom is any less important, only that most people (I'm assuming) don't know your mom and there's really nothing any of us can do about it. We can't strong arm tmobile into giving you whatever information you want. That's what subpoenas are for. I believe all cell providers require a subpoena to give out any blocked information, mainly to cover their own butts. - Bob
@Rafael: Unless one of us is a judge, or otherwise has some influence to expedite the process.... Not sure what else we can do to help. - Jeremy Brooks
Where is the Prosecutor's Office in all of this? It is NOT your mother's responsibility to get a court order. She filed the complaint. It is now the department's responsibility forward the request for a warrant to the Prosecutor who then requests it from the judge. Call the local media, give them the audio and the story. Force the issue. - Michael W. May
T-Mobile isn't a law enforcement agency, and most people on Friendfeed aren't qualified to offer legal advice (including me). You're barking up the wrong tree. Work the cops, starting with your municipality. They'll deal with T-Mobile. Good luck. - Chris Baskind
When I worked for a cell provider we would get bomb threats pretty regularly. In the ~5 years I was there every single one of them ended up being a "joke." When it was a bomb threat we worked with the police. When it was a death threat we couldn't do anything without a subpoena. Normally those were kids playing a "joke" and dialing random numbers and being stupid, thinking they were being funny and not realizing that blocking your number doesn't *really* block your number. - Bob
Also, some areas offer free legal services if you don't make much money. You should have your mom look into one of those. Also, you can find attorneys for less than the $400/hr you mentioned in your blog. - Bob
Raoul, this is a terribly upsetting situation. I hope you and your mother can work with law enforcement and the prosecutor's office to get the information she needs. I sincerely hope that someone is playing a joke--as sick as it is--and that your mother is OK (and remains OK for a long time to come). - vicster
Are the police doing something about it? - Steve Lynch via Alert Thingy
Forget T-Mobile, what about the police? - Steve Lynch via Alert Thingy
Steve Lynch: see my first comment above. Most law enforcement agencies won't do anything until physical contact is made. - Cecily
Just a general reply to those who have already commented. Thank you! Forgive my initial comment, but I was (understandably) upset about my mom's safety. I'm not there to help her in person. She lives in FL and I live in MD. As for this not being the best place to draw attention to the problem, I disagree. I believe the Internet is the best way to draw attention to issues. And so far, through my site and through FF, plenty of people have found out about this. So that's good. - Raoul Pop
Hopefully it was just a misdial! - Jeff P. Henderson
Even if it was a misdial, that person, whoever he is, is seemingly still intent on killing someone on Friday night, which is just as bad. And if it was a nasty prank, then he should be taught a serious lesson through a short stay in prison. - Raoul Pop
For the record, I just read this at 6:15pm PDT via my Google Reader feed. While this is more than likely a prank, your mom should contact the Hollywood DA. And will the Hollywood police go on the record to state that T-Mobile is the sole uncooperative phone company in such investigations? - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
UM CHILL raaul. i get those from people from time to time. but it'z usually to andrea the girl that had this phone number before me. i think she was a bit of a.... - Caroline via twhirl
Not trying to make light of the situation because I've received death threats before (back in high school) but why would anyone tell you when and where they're planning to kill you? - Oliver Ortega Chua
OE, that's what the police told her. Caroline and Oliver, I wouldn't have given it so much attention if the threat had been directed at me. I can take care of myself. But this is my mother we're talking about, and I won't have lunatics make idle (or not) death threats to her or to any member of my immediate family. - Raoul Pop
Sorry your mother has to even deal with this. People can be foolish. Its most likely just some idiot trying to liven up their 4th of July. - LuluGirl896
I sincerely hope the police can solve this and your Mom can sleep soundly Friday night. I'm just seeing this this morning. - Gary Fredrick
For those of you that are still following this, I posted an update: http://www.raoulpop.com/2008/0.... Scroll down to the end of the post to see it, and thanks for the comments! - Raoul Pop
