The following comment is from Timothy Ferriss at May 7th, 2008. Tim is the author of bestseller book “The 4 Hour Workweek“, who introduced GetFriday in his popular 4HWW book.
“Thanks for your feedback. As of this writing, I’m planning on removing GetFriday from upcoming editions when I have a chance to add some more. Thanks for your candid comment! They might be victims of success, but that excuse only goes so far. Agreed. All the best Tim”
