DISQUS

Bernie Goldbach · 8 months ago

The unstreamed life is no life at all.

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Bernie: It makes sense to me ;)

Joseph Jaffe · 8 months ago

Andrea,

It's about time. You really didn't add much value to the conversation and we are better off with your departure.

Good riddance.

Joseph

PS Considering it's April 1st, please ignore the above message as I will ignore yours :)

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Joseph: Ok I will ignore... hehh ;)

Marko · 8 months ago

Happy April fools day to you too Andrea! ;)

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

Thanks Marko same to you!

Documentally · 8 months ago

Take care whatever happens man.

Do it for you and no other. you are an early adopter of so many things.

The rest of the world is just a bit slow.. ;)

Peace man.

Christian

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Christian: Agree, being a pioneer is not an easy job... but it's easier when you have a good group of friends that makes you understand that you are on the right path.
Thanks Christian!

Jaska · 8 months ago

Don't loose faith - it's difficult - short-term changes are smaller and long-term changes bigger than we expect. History always repeats itself. 30 years ago I tried to fight on behalf of personal computers, 25 years ago for LAN's, nearly 20 years ago for internet, today it's the same with some other new innovations.

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Jaska: Thanks for stopping by.
One thing is sure, I'll never give up ;)

Documentally · 8 months ago

damn you Marko.. you ruined the joke.. :)

Marko · 8 months ago

Hmmm... When reading these comments, either people are just playing along or I didn't. :)

Phil · 8 months ago

NO chance. i aint falling for that! ;)

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Phil: I know that it wouldn't have been easy to make you fall... I tried ;)

neville · 8 months ago

Wicked sense of humour :) Keep at it, Andrea!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Neville: Appreciated mate ;)

Pirjo · 8 months ago

Great job and great post! I really believed in you (also today..).

What a relief to read the previous comments. ;)

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Pirjo: Kiitos!

Arne Hulstein · 8 months ago

If only I hadn't tasted your passion for things in Berlin I might actually have fallen for this. ;-)

Good to see you are still at it!

Arne

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Arne: You know the way I am... Let's hope to meet-up in London for the latest project!

Helge V. Keitel · 8 months ago

Andrea, it's right, there is LIFE after April 1'st.

Have a great day. It's sunny in Loviisa. Living on the sunny side of the Social Media Street.

Helge

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Helge: "Living on the sunny side of the Social Media Street"... love it!

Let's stay tuned for the 'Finnish projects'... ;)

Erkka Piirainen · 8 months ago

I hear you, man.

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Erkka: I keep thinking about the new potential podcast with you, me and Hessu...we should do a little bit more of brainstorming and then get the things going...

Keep in touch as usual!

Mitch Joel - Twist Image · 8 months ago

Andrea, you can't quit... you're fired!

(sorry you did not get the memo).

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Mitch: No... I'm not like Julien that doesn't seem to notice memos..especially the ones sent by Google about the latest 'behavior tracking' etc. (referring to Media Hacks ;) )

So I guess that I need 'six pixels of separation' on how to get fired as a CEO or something like that.. Do you think you could drop them in the next episode of SPOS? (hehhh ;))

Dario Salvelli · 8 months ago

Ahaha Andrea!! Happy April Fool!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Dario: Grazie, un buon pesce d'Aprile anche a te!

Francesco · 8 months ago

What's going on mate?
I hope you're kidding!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Francesco: Yes it is, you know that I have a thick skin ;)

nethunt · 8 months ago

Hope U'll get back to biz at 2.4. ;) On the other hand, your writing *could* make much sense in the atmosphere of Finland.

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Kari AKA nethunt: Agree, it's an everyday challenge...but I'm used to it! Hope to see you soon again!

Annette Schwindt · 8 months ago

Yeah, I know how you feel! We all feel like this sometimes and wish we could just throw it all away. And it must have felt good to speak it all out.

But of course we wouldn't quit it all! :-)

So Happy April Fool (to you and Rick Astley) from me too!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Annette: I was thinking to change my hair style and make more... 'Ricky'! What do you think?

Teymur Madjerey · 8 months ago

mmuuuuuuahahahahaha... you little bugger! awesome! hahahaha.the glasses and the chairdancing are just wonderful1! all the best man!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Teymur: Is that you? the one with the new shiny site and all that huhh?

Magic shots Teymur, magic shots... ;)

Teymur Madjerey · 8 months ago

I guess so sir! thanks to you! and we are very close to finish it! and thank you so much man!!!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Teymur: I just believe in you!
All the best...

Teymur Madjerey · 8 months ago

and you are just too kind man! I really apreciate it!

Hessu · 8 months ago

Oh man!! Why...oh why!! Why the heck you suddenly started having a life...you should have stayed with the net man. Haven't you heard about the Wingman and all new and exiting things we are about to face in the near future? Dude..you have to think about the bright side...you are such a Rickroller...man!

Take care!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Hessu: Good to hear from you! Hey we should jump back to the new podcast idea we discussed with Erkka!

Hessu · 8 months ago

Yes!! We should.. It has been once again soooooo busy. But still...we should.

Eden Spodek · 8 months ago

You have the distinction of being the first person to rickroll me and that's not an April Fool's joke. Thank goodness it's April Fool's 'cause we'd miss you! Have a great one.

Cheers,

Eden

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago

@Eden: Thanks! + let's really hope to meet-up next time!

Adam · 8 months ago

Oh no!

And on the first day of a bright new month, too! ;-)

Saara Laaksonen · 8 months ago

Oh man, I was totally shocked for a while even if I know that a person as passionate as you would never give up like that so I'm happy it was just a joke, a good joke indeed!

Keep up the good work Andrea!!

Saara :)

Donna Papacosta · 8 months ago

I'm glad it's April Fools' Day!
Keep on truckin', Andrea.

Cheers,
Donna

Tuomo Turja · 8 months ago

Dear Andrea, that was the kind of 1st of April fool joke that I'm not used to. Especially when I first just watched the video without voice. Anyway, after a phone call with Sakari and the second watch with voice and comments I got the relief. You are almost too good actor...

Connie Crosby · 8 months ago

I know you want us to beg you not to go. But To be honest, with you outshining the rest of us all the time, it will be good to have you out of the way. I want my chance to shine!

;-)

Thanks for the April Fool's joke! I love it!

And really, no I don't want you to go!!!!
Cheers,
Connie

Timo Rainio · 8 months ago

I really liked this ... and sametime I am sure that all active social media users sometimes feels like you did in this Apri fools's day joke ... or was it a joke

t · 8 months ago

nice try!
:-)

menijo · 8 months ago

huh.. Andrea you are the dude! :D keep on rock'n!

Jukka Matikainen · 8 months ago

You really can't go on like that, that's true!

Greetings from San Francisco! (Let's see what happens now when California is going to separate itself from the USA...)

Dave Fleet · 8 months ago

*snicker*

Nicely done :)

CathleenRitt · 8 months ago

When I got the message pointing me here, I asked myself "Who is Andrea Vascellari? Should I concern myself with this?". So I am relieved to learn that you are really Rick Astley and you're sticking around, because I could never give you up.

Nasan · 8 months ago

OMG!!! I was going to have a heart attack!!! I was already thinking that this financial crisis stuff was starting to cause a really bad things to ALL the people around..

Happily, today is the 1st of April!!! ;)))

Keep at it, Andrea!!! Hard times, but don't give up!!!

Cheers from Udine!!!

Mauro · 8 months ago

Andrea quit!!!? It's impossible. I don't know why i can't belive this. Don't make fun of us we know what day is..
Actually i would like follow more your video and posts but no adsl no party.
I'm sorry man but the digital divide here is still a problem!!

huge hug and go on with your projects

Joyce Bettencourt · 8 months ago

OMG Andrea,

I was almost going to pen off this heart felt letter on knowing the frustrations of balancing all the responsibilities of life around you while finding the time to engage in social media conversations and content creation online.

One of the most amazing things about you is that spirit of passion and life you have and I was almost heartbroken to think that took a huge blow....thankfully not.

You got me good (and I am sure others) for April Fool's with your own personal take on the Rick Roll. Thanks and here's to you never giving up!

Andrea Vascellari · 8 months ago
