Don't be upset if we ask for Roger and Van back :)
Steph

Hi Steph. Real Tim here. That's one catch -- well done to you. Anyone else?
Tim
Wow. I feel like I should go back and correct the "to" field from every comment I've written.
Can't wait to hear about the other pending experiments.
For topics: what the hell have you been doing if not on the blog?
-B.
1) How do we know that this is really you?
2) Did you actually write your book, or simply outsource it to India? :D
I think the next big reveal is that those two wrote the book, too. For $150 each.
Which is enough to buy India.
Happy April Fool's everyone :-).
So how about letting us know, 'What would happen if someone took your 4-hww design and used it to become lazy instead of productive? Would that cause the 4hww concept to fail?'
Perhaps Vanhishikha “Van” Mehra and Roger Espinosa would reply, 'To be covered in a future post' :)
I'm absolutely not upset. In fact, I think this is totally awesome, and simply adds to the Tim Ferriss inspirational picture.
Standing on a stage at the 2007 SXSW and trying to sell your ideas was, I'm sure, a little bit like Bruce Lee trying to sell Jeet Kune Do to his industry peers his first year.
You've proven IT CAN BE DONE, even when you're a high-profile rock star. From now on, when folks tell you that "I can't pull back from my 70 hour work week, 'cause my boss will notice I'm not there.", you can show them PROOF. You've done it.
Keep it up sir, you're still inspiring me on a daily basis.
It has nothing to do with the "quality of the product," which has been excellent. I've enjoyed it. I had never heard of your blog until two months ago. I subscribed via RSS and have been a faithful reader ever since.
But now you tell me I've never really read anything by YOU. The whole situation makes me feel like an idiot.
This is NOT an example of living by the 4HWW principles. This is an example of fraud.
Van and Roger? If you decide to set up your own blog, let me know. I'll be glad to switch from Tim to you.
And Tim? Change the name of your blog to "The Blog Overseen by Tim Ferris." Let other newcomers know the truth from the start.
The real question though is WHO ARE YOU Tim? Through reading your blog I thought I was gaining insight into the personality of "the real Tim Ferriss".
What about posts like http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/01/27... that are about what "you" did and are doing. Are those complete fabrications? I was inspired by your personality, lifestyle and the things you do. If it was all made up, you've suddenly lost a large part of your personal brand and interestingness in my opinion.
Are the things you wrote about having done in the book true?
From the sound of this post it feels like we should be looking up to Van instead of you. I've seen videos of you though and you felt like a honest and sincere person so hopefully I'm wrong.
Did you also outsource the writing of the 4HWW as well? We'll probably hear about that next. (Playfully, but with a smidge of sarcasm) ;)
Aaron
Touche! :-D
Post Topic: I have a 15 year old who isn't the best student and despairs of getting into college. Please write about your "tricks" for getting into college. You refer to your tape series in the book and I would love that info.
Heather
Tim's been advocating a certain lifestyle and a certain way of doing things. To manage this blog in a manner different than the techniques he presents would be disingenuous. I don't have a problem with it at all-- I've enjoyed high quality posts, and the voice in the back of my mind that says "Tim sure spends a lot of time on this blog" is now silenced. This is more "honest" and "real" than it sounds.
Nice work. However, given the proximity to April Fool's day, I'm a little suspicious. :)
Keep it coming,
Frankie
On the other hand for reasons I have trouble articulating I feel like I've been had.
I wish you the best, but I don't think I'll be back. It's just too fundamentally dishonest.
However, the generally accepted concept of a 'blog' - especially a personal one - is to share with the readers things about the writer. Not surrogates.
If this blog had been named "The 4HWW Blog", I think such an experiment would have been spot on. But it says "The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss". So, while I appreciate the information and writing on this site - and I've learned a lot - I do feel deceived. I thought I was learning about the feelings, goals, and opinions of Tim Ferriss. Today I learn that he considers writing here "work" and that he considers me a - for lack of better term - "lab rat". Your choice tells me a lot about how you think of me. It is not a good reflection, sir.
btw, a personal blog shouldn't be work, it should be a passion. If you need to outsource it, you have the wrong motivation.
Alright Tim its proven you can travel the world outsource your life
be ripped be thin be whatever you want to be. Alot of people out there still are having trouble getting away from the 9-5 grind and working under a boss. You have just said you had two people “Van Mehra and Roger Espinosa" help you out with your blog. I am assuming that these two probaly don't party all over the world every week and tango and all the other fun stuff that the new rich gets to do. I would love to see you help these two use your principles to escape the blogging world of tim ferris and use their talents to become the new rich themselves. They obviously from reading the blogs got the skills so I'd love to see them posting about their expierences.
This is a good example of leveraging outsourcing to free up time. And I agree with Bruce - what have you been up to?
Those who would be insulted by the "betrayal of trust" will never be able to trust anyone else to do as good a job as they do – or offload their jobs elsewhere.
I'm going into a non-profit area of employment and I've found your book useful for psychological approach alone. Next month I try the business end. Absolutely amazing – keep up applying that which everyone says CANNOT be done!
The impossible is always the most impressive.
anyway, that explains why i thought your blog was better some time ago! the mentioned rock star in buenos aires-post is actually a favourite of mine:)would really like to know more of your trips.. and what about the as seen on tv-thing, aren't we supposed to know just yet?
i would really like to see the second part of your language course in the "readers only"-section. Reverse learning, right?
take care!
But even those who feel betrayed and lied to have to come round full circle to the thought that this blog is about content and ideas and if they've like it so much thus far, then your ideas on outsourcing have directly proven themselves effective.
This is great because instead of just talking about examples to which people can respond "but my situation is different; that doesn't apply to me" you've been able to bring the example to your readers' situation directly.
I've been applying as many of your concepts as I can, but a personal challenge is that all the content I produce is extremely specialized: It's on the specific topic of using a 401k or IRA to buy alternative assets. I've been working in this field for 4 years now, and my challenge is that hiring someone in an editorial position can't exude my 4 years of technical knowledge.
Tim, any ideas on how to outsource specialized, technical knowledge related products and services?
I do tend to agree with Jon above that it is a little unsettling to be taken, albeit pleasantly, on a ride! A good brand is about authenticity and honesty and this does detract a little from Mr Tim Ferris, the real Tim Ferris.
Saying that, I really don't feel too strongly about it and have enjoyed all your posts!
Best wishes from sunny England! (yes, we have some sunshine today!).
Jon :-)
On the lose weight post, do you really take those supplements, or was that something your authors made up?
I thought something was a bit off but couldn't place it. Did other bloggers that you hang out with know of this experiment before you let the cat out of the bag to your readers? Scoble, for instance? Hmm... He does post a lot ;)
In any case, thank you Van & Roger for the great content. I will surely be fwd'ing this post to friends who enjoy your work as they will def get a kick out of this!
TJ
ps - Congrats on the 365-day milestone.
Topic suggestion: How about a few more gritty details on virtual companies? I'm sure you must have a whole bag of tricks. E.g., the easiest/cheapest way of maintaining the required physical presence for a company (P.O. Box not acceptable to banks, IRS, etc.)?
On a philosophical note, now that you're able to maintain a virtual presence, did you ever wonder what would happen if you got stuck on a deserted island; how long before anyone would notice, or if they ever would? This could be either exciting or scary depending on how you decide to view it?
Is nothing sacred ?
Well, it's a great experiment, though of course it calls into question credibility. Now that we're all aware, we're skeptical. Of course, it's proof of your recommendations in action... so it's difficult to argue with.
Here's my issue with this: I feel that I've gotten to know you throughout the past year on this blog. I thought I was getting an insight into your thoughts and life. I've invested a considerable amount of time and energy in reading and implementing these ideas. Compare it to two friends spending time together. You've built a lot of relationships on this blog. Now that I know they are not your ideas I feel tricked and have no idea who you truly are. I've been following your advice because I truly respect you, yet I'm a bit lost right now. This is how I feel right now and I apologize if it comes across hard. I feel your experiment took a turn away from "personal" to "impersonal". Right now we need more human touch in todays world.
I'd think to myself, "Wow, Tim is a great writer. I love his style and his amazing ability to explain things clearly. His comments are so well written, clever, and direct". Now that I know none of that has been you for over a year drastically changes my opinion. I'd like to hear your response to this because it brings up some social issues. That's one thing you do do (hehe), stir things up!
Best,
Aaron
Good work.
So when is the post "How to live like a rockstar in Manilla & Bangalore" ?
I think you are missing the point completely! The "feelings, goals, and opinions of Tim Ferriss" or his passions if you will, are finding ways to create time for yourself while still having the lifestyle you want. Nobody here should be upset by his "experiment." It was brilliantly played. It is his blog and he can do with it whatever he wants, and I personally can't wait to see what's coming next.
But, in all seriousness, your peeps deserve a raise. You've had some good posts.
Did they fake the YouTube video too? ;-)
At first I thought it was funny, but when I realize that I want YOUR advice, not some random writer's advice. If I want to know how to taste wine I'll look it up on a much more qualified site or ask a trusted friend. I was thinking you were a "trusted friend" who had some great insight on tasting wine. Now you aren't anything more than an everyday magazine editior who assigns work.
Enlightening indeed!
I write my blog as it is personal to me and could not think of someone writing for me unless I was dictating my life’s journey to someone else. Maybe I will do that to free up some time to have more experiences to blog about.
At least when I do meet the man behind the team of outsourcers, I hope to speak and give a hug to the real Tim Ferriss not his Doppelganger(s)!
Congrats to Van and Rodger for keep us obsessive peeps interested in the words of Tim Ferriss! Bravo!
Hugs, Jen
Tim
With regard to this one, I trust you reviewed everything and essentially hired virtual ghost writers to more cost effective express your views & interests... which is the point of outsourcing your life, eh?
#2 - Upon mention of the possibility that Tim didn't write much of his book: If that were true it should be even more extreme proof that the concepts of his book can be effective. You can get jealous, feel condescending towards him, or copy him to leverage the efforts of others to achieve more success than you could as a single person.
#3 - Ghostwriters have been used for hundreds of years. You've read many other books not written entirely by their authors. The only difference here is that Tim has TOLD you about it because that practice is part of the subject matter. If you were to copy Tim's outsourcing for yourself, it would make sense to not spotlight that fact in the writing itself unless that revelation is part of the subject matter.
#4 - Are you thinking outside the box yet? I am. Tim, as time progresses, your challenge will be how you can continually push the envelope. I'm sure you're up for it.
That said, it doesn't bother me one bit. Good info is good info. I think others were caught idolizing "you."
Point well proven regarding outsourcing.
With that being said, I'm really disappointed. After reading the 4HWW nearly a year ago and taking to heart your ideas of joining the NR, I really have looked forward to each blog post from you. I'll continue trying to come up with muses and test them as I have been been doing, but I'm not too sure about your blog.
From a recent business college grad who really looks up to you, this is pretty disheartening.
I recall a user comment about a month ago questioning whether or not you outsource your blog, and "you" replied something to the tune of, "I guess you just have to trust me." Ouch.
Question for you: were you really sick about a week ago and did your really try any of your anti-cold cocktails?
As for your request; what would we like to see in posts from you over the next few weeks: how about some case studies of real people who have taken your advice from the 4HWW and joined the NR? I think that a few blog posts on the 4HWW subjects would really be welcomed by a lot of your readers (especially regarding muse creation/testing, as this is kind of the central point in creating a NR lifestyle).
Thanks Tim,
Robert M
The thing is: does is worth? I mean, this is probable the last time I read your blog, I've already deleted your book from my Amazon wishlist and I'll tell all my friends to do so.
My suggestion to Van and Roger: guys, open a new blog and let us know!!!! Kind of we-are-tim-ferris.com ;) I'm sure you'll get more than that miserable $15-20 for your work.
Or maybe everything is fake and this is like "Ed TV" or another experiment about how people react to this and that.
Who knows...
Artists, at least well known artists like Dale Chihuly often do this - outsource work to their assistants. The more than 100 "assistants" working in Chihuly's glass studio are actually highly skilled creative artists themselves, and they are responsible for the creation and production of his work. Most people are shocked to learn this about his art making process.
I like Van and Roger, definitely, but I agree with some of the other commenters. What does it mean for business when you've sold some version of yourself that you would, ultimately, be unable to replicate?
I think this is a great idea for folks to try, but it needs to be transparent. Not only for the integrity of the product, but for the recognition of the people who put effort in to produce it. And that way, no seeds of doubt are planted about one's own abilities versus the work of another.
;-)
Way to go! Lili
What I want to know is how do I hire you? :) I've scoured elance looking for the posting, but it's done (natuarlly)! :)
I love the style, the content is great and you've nailed the voice. Actually, now I wonder, is Tim naturally that concise and witty or is that you guys? No matter, you've branded him a dynamo, and his legions of fans will no doubt worship him even more. Myself included. :)
If you're looking to create another blog sensation, look me up. I'm willing!

I would like to own up to 'the grand comments illusion' - all my comments are actually ghost written to a clear set of guidelines - the real me sits in all day doing the coco butter thing.
That and the writing style is too similar and laid back, yet informative to the book itself.
Either way, congrats on the mindf*ck! :)
I was just re-reading all the other comments and noticed that it was mostly the women who felt betrayed, lied to, or were upset. I know why. Roger and Van had a writing style that was likable and engaging, and I think many of your women fans were just a little bit in love with you.
We all prayed at the alter of Tim Ferriss and tried to live the lifestyle that you preached, but I think that many wanted to be with you in your fantastic life, not create one of their own.
I sense the smack of hurt feelings in some of the posts, like when you find out that your crush is really married, or gay, or worse, just not interested in YOU. They've invested a year of emotion and energy following your exploits, imagined every scene you describe (writing your blog in the car from the airport before crashing in bed) and then find out that their visions were not the real thing.
I personally can't wait to see if the real you stacks up the vision I have created. We live near enough and roam in similar circles so I'm sure I'll find out one day. Until then, I'm looking forward to your next experiment.
-Adryenn Ashley
- BRILLIANT!
I am the real Tim Ferriss.
I thought my ideas would sell better if they weren't from a single mother of 2 teenagers, so I hired a hunky male model to make some videos and travel around a few hours a week as my lead character.
I'm sorry if you feel it was deception--it's just marketing 2.0, and it worked well in Beta through Second Life.

LOL... my God that was funny! Deb, I almost accidentally headbutted the wall laughing on that one.
Tim
1.) He is a writer, but he writes poorly. (Example from the Lazarus Philosophy post: "people use get hung up on choosing the muse, when they would recognize that you always need to make important decisions on incomplete information."
I just chalked this up to Tim being busy and quickly stabbing out his responses.
2.) He sure spends A LOT of time on his blog.
I chalked this up to Tim being an egomaniac. :-p
It's funny how you make excuses in your mind for people you want to believe in.
>"If you have any topic suggestions, please let me know in the comments."
Yes, real Tim. Please post about muses. See my request in the Lazarus Philosophy post.
Well played, sir!
When's the second edition coming out?!
Amateur Web content is like American Idol. In the end, a couple of people will go on to be paid professionals, and the rest will go back home to work at McDonald's.
>”If you have any topic suggestions, please let me know in the comments.”
1. Please post more about muses and multiple streams of income.
2. Post about how to hack the tax code in your favor so the government doesn't tax you an arm and a leg.
Thank you.
A good lesson: On Mar 31st or Apr 1st, be sure to finish the WHOLE cup of coffee before proceeding into the world/cyberworld.
Good one. :p
Good advice is good advice, and if it's inspirational, it's inspirational. If it's driven (hopefully) many of you to be your best, have you really lost anything if this *wasn't* an April fool's day joke?
I think some of these comments tell more about yourselves than it does about TF himself.
I'm surprised.
Good job, Tim!
~Marcie
Aaron
Guys, I write all my posts, even the stupid ones. This one might qualify.
Sorry for any confusion! 'Twas just a joke!
More to come soon -- if you haven't seen the newest post, please do! :)
Tim
In full disclosure, yea, I was fooled. Even blogged about Tim's creativity and tossed a link this way, so now all my blog readers know what a fool I am too. Luckily I was able to delete within minutes, but that's too late for the RSS feed.
Thanks, Tim. Thanks a million.
###
Richard, I'm really sorry if I caused this trouble. I really just intended it as a simple joke, but the truth is that my other posts on outsourcing -- as well as the "joke" post -- do nothing but emphasize how practical it is to outsource certain aspects of life, whether writing or otherwise. In my case, I enjoy the blogging, but for others with a higher volume of writing, ghosting makes perfect sense. My "holy grail" post on e-mail is a perfect example of this -- utilitarian writing delegated to the best person to handle it.
I think that while this latest April Fool's post was a simulation, it is not at all unreasonable to actualize in a business. In fact, it's a hypothetical step-by-step. To that end, I don't think pointing to it as a example was necessarily a bad thing. It could well work if done to the T. That said, I would probably respond the same way you did, and I'm very sorry for any problems I caused you.
All the best,
Tim
Though, it would have been a piece of work in and of itself to outsource some of these posts (the cold cure post comes to mind).
It was great to meet you at SXSWi. Thanks for signing my copy of 4HWW; all my friends are jealous. And I'm talking about the book so much, people want to borrow it but I don't want to let it go (you'll be glad to hear I'm making them buy their own damn copy). Cheers man!
Hilarious!
Even now, I have no proof this isn't an outsourced April fools joke.
I could ask all number of questions, but I'm pretty sure Van and Roger could pass any Turing test I came up with.
Happy April Fools
I content suggestion: "the best way to overcome a hangover. Old remedies and unknown secrets..."
Maybe I'll meet you someday~ I'm a 22year old college student at UW-Madison and thinking about starting my own business and lifestyle blog.
Take care, Nick
[This comment posted by my VA.]
Cheers.
Now you can continue to outsource your blog and others will crush any suspicions that ever arise. :)
Happy April Fools!
Great, GREAT April Fools joke. As if you needed any more proof that your concepts resonate with your readers, the fact that you "got" so many of us is a tremendous affirmation of your lifestyle and passions. Keep up the phenomenal "work". And for those who can't take a good joke, step away from the laptop, plan a good April Fool's joke yourself and get a life!
April Fools.
See my comments to your comment on my original blog entry and the latest blog entry (I sent a trackback).

Ha ha! You done got me good, Richard. Well played, sir. Happy April Fool's Day :)
Tim
Love the new MT theme by the way, with the dynamic header images and all.
As Luck would have it a distant relative passed away + I inherited
their little Cottage on the British Isle of Loof Lirpa do pop by Tim
while yer in London Town*
Cheerio!! ;)) Peace*
wow! I have only been reading your blog for 2 weeks, so I havent had alot of time to think about it. WHat a way to prove your point. You Rock
=-]
Still, I am relieved it just a prank!
###
Thanks for the kind words, Andrew! More challenges coming soon. A really good one hopefully coming next week.
Pura vida,
Tim
Nice joke.
Here's my suggestion for a topic for a future blog. I'm extremely curious. You've mentioned that you teach neural acceleration techniques to powerlifters. I'd love to get in on the secret. Is it just "greasing the groove", or is there more to it?
Thanks for the book, the blog, and the joke. Keep it coming....
:) I admit it feels good to know that we're reading YOU.
keep up your great posts!
###
Hahahahaha! Niiiiiice. I'm sorry, Roger, but we just can't see each other anymore... :)
Tim
While I was reading the post I had some of the best ideas come to me about VAs (been at it since 2005) -and how what you outlined was exactly plausible, feasible and true.
So now, i'm sold, this is not a prank. It's a real story of what kinda happens. Only that you left out the "lettermelater" part w/c you obviously use.
The garbage characters give it away.
Jomar Hilario
###
Hi Jomar,
Man, I wish the garbage characters were caused by "Van" and "Roger"! I thought it was from copy and pasting from word, but it seems to be a WP issue. Help me, Matt Mullenweg!
Tim
Mostly glad to know the monkeys were really tested by you!!! :)
Heather
Or is it? Maybe you've double-bluffed us! And in reality there are two people who have the ability to produce posts for you in just the way you describe.
Jim
I actually thought, he has not done an April fool and read the whole piece and believed it all...What a sucker!
Tim - "You're a funny guy - that's why I am gonna shoot you last..."
Quote from some comedy film (3 amigoes I think..)
2 Kudos for you, amazing work.
I'm just happy to have your friends Van and Roger filter through and respond to many of the comments. Very believable!
I'm also proud they found my post(Septemberish) about using the ##|# to find(ctrl+f) and filter to your err I mean their replies to the many comments.
Keep up the good words/works guys.
Knowing isn't doing what you need to do my son.
Telling me that you know is only bluffing on the run.
Knowing isn't doing
Doing isn't know.
Nothing but the knowing AND the doing get the job done.
~Unknown
And re your comments (in a story on a major news channel) that you "outsourced" your dating: I'm curious. Do you mean you outsource finding someone (but presumably go on the dates yourself)? That's called the old fashioned shadchen or matchmaker. Nothing new about it. Outsourcing your email: most managers used to have someone (secretary) who would screen requests and handle those that didn't need their personal attention. Again nothing new about it.
As a doctor in training, who does not plan to outsource seeing his patients, and who will probably be working far more than 4 hours a day, I admit that yes, I undoubtedly should look at outsourcing some of the things that don't need my personal time and attention. But the things I need done typically are hands on. And you know what? I'm a little reluctant to outsource my life. Why? Because in the long run, I can't hire someone to die for me - and when that time comes, I want to be the one who has lived my life. Not someone else.

Hi Les,
I think you might have missed this, but this post was an April Fool's joke :) LOL... for your other points, I suggest you read the book and you'll see we're actually on the same page.
Cheers,
Tim
Guys, this post was an April Fool's Day joke!!!
Please be sure to read the postscript at the bottom of the post, my comments in green above, and the subsequent post titled "Happy Japanese April Fool's Day".
Don't be upset -- we're all friends here, and if it has my name on it, I wrote it :)
Pura vida,
Tim
Also my question: to what end you'll be outsourcing your life? It seems to be excessive at some point.
;)
Whether you do or don't write the blog, who cares??? People read it because they are mostly bored sh*tless of their mundane lives, their long commutes and living vicariously is the best they can muster - and well, for some, that is just as good.
###
Thanks so much for the comment, Brian! Look for me in BsAs in Jan-Feb of 2009 :)
Tim
I look forward to seeing you in Jan.2009, since i will be here for 9 months or more. By the way, thanks Tim for the referral of YMII. 2 of my associates are using this great service.
Cheers
Brian
I was just telling my girlfriend: "you see that? I told you! I told you that I wanted to do it for my blog too".
(I got this idea after reading your book, in my bath, asking myself how would i could avoid loosing time writing in a professional blog...
For me as a student, it's a real added value to write a blog.
Unless it's "personal", it's kind of understandable to pay someone for it to save time...
Just to tell you (finally), that my girlfriend is fed up with you: i never stop talking about your book, your ideas, YMII etc... And this for anything! Poor thing.
Good joke
All the best :)

Really good April fools joke!

Does anyone know if you can present a book series idea to a publisher--like the Dummies series, for example. I don't mean a fiction series or one's own series, but an idea for a series that would cover mutliple, related topics for a niche market. I'm qualified to write a couple of them, but they'd be easy to research/produce (could even outsource a lot), but I don't know if I need to come up with a prototype first and/or get some sort of copyright or something for the idea. I haven't had a lot of time to look into this as I've been working so much on freelance editing and on some books I have coming out next year. But I'd love to find a way to make a product like this automatic so I could focus on just the things I love and not on paying the bills.
Also, Tim, if you ever read this yourself, the idea series could actually work well in combo with the ideas in your book for another way to sell your same material.
Thanks!

Here is why I finally sent this message: WE NEED YOUR HELP! The state of California is cutting education back to nothing. The parents in our district are scrambling to raise the 7 million dollars required to save teacher’s jobs. After realizing that the plans in place include spaghetti night, selling pins and lemonade stands I broke into a cold sweat and called a meeting for anyone who might be interested in aiming for the fences. Two people showed up. O.K., it’s a start. I explained that it’s 80/20 rule time, my long time favorite but seldom applied rule (except when doing laundry or cleaning). I came home after meeting with my army of two and began setting up a website at www.savemyteachers.com. I pulled your book out to use a couple of quotes in the beginning of chapters and found this in front: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TEACHER- 10% of all author royalties are donated to educational not-for-profits, including Donorchoose.org.
I can see it now: “The principles and author of The Four Hour Workweek help Capistrano Unified School District achieve the unachievable.” Seriously, my educational default plan has been in place long before I heard of your book: homeschool and travel. You have given me the roadmap and a good nudge. But from an altruistic viewpoint, the vast majority of students in our school have no default plan. Their education will be compromised if we fail.
Thanks a million times over for steering our collective consciousness in the direction of quality living!
I am an American living in Germany and really like the idea of personal outsourcing but it seems people in India do not speak German. Anyone who ready my mails or would help me with research would have to speak German. I asked Get Friday but they said that can't do it. Ask Sunday is the same.... Do you know of any outsourcing possibilities for me. I suppose I could go us something like Get Friday to have them find me 3 or 4 people who meat the criteria. What do you think?
Thanks.
It's your Blog. You can play all the tricks you want. But, this is just stupid. Especially in light of recent plagiarisms being revealed in print media, as well as the blogsphere. I see a lack of transperency and good sense.
Reminds me (on a much smaller scale) of the the famous radio hoax pulled by Orson Welles. Well, can't waste anymore of my four hours here! So long.
