I might like to eat the stuff, but I do not like getting it in my E-mail inbox. Getting spam is nothing new to anybody who has spent five minutes on the World Wide Web. So what can Web hosts and Web hosting clients do to get less of it? I have a few things to say and a few tips to share, right here on the 66th edition of the Web Hosting Show.

Another weekend, and another update! A few folks have been asking for a Web page via HostingHoopla.com where they could view all the content I am pulling in. Well, ask and you shall receive! The main index of Hosting Hoopla now contains everything. From there you can filter your links via “Inside Industry Links”, “Outside Industry Links”, and “Hosting Forums Links”. Remember, if you have any suggestions for me about HostingHoopla.com, just let me know and I’ll do my best to get them added.
I usually do not like these personality quizes. Why? Mostly because I always get one odd result thrown back at me, like I have a hidden fantasy to wear women’s underwear or something. This one was a lot different though. Over at PersonalDNA, I have to say they “got me”. I am really considering putting all these details on my next resume!
You are an Idealist
As an IDEALIST, you are distinctive for your integration of confidence, imagination, willingness to explore, and desire for competence over style.
You have a strong capacity to comprehend the inner workings of things, finding new ideas and innovative insights to feed your curious nature.
You are quite comfortable in the realm of abstract thought. You don’t need a practical solution to every one of life’s questions.
You are comfortable with the decisions you make in life. You don’t need to second-guess yourself, or seek a lot of opinions before you make up your mind.
You enjoy the routines that you have created in your life, and don’t feel the need to shake things up just for the sake of change.
You generally succeed at what you do, and others would describe you as successful.
It is important to you that products be efficient – looking good has to come second to working well.
You aren’t the kind of person who needs to collect stylish items in an attempt to create an attractive environment – you know that what matters most is function, not style.
You’re not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you’re generally considerate of others’ feelings as well.
You much prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute. Your decisions are well thought out, and you’re not the least bit impulsive.
You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.
If you want to be different:
You take time to explore your own thoughts and ideas, but this experience would only be heightened if you opened yourself up even more to others’ ideas.
Your faith in yourself and your lifestyle is well-founded, but the occasional foray into the unknown might broaden your perspective and help you see things differently.
How You Relate to Others - You are Considerate
You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.
You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.
You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.
Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you’re somewhat shy and reserved at times.
Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.
Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people’s behavior.
You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people’s lives.
Your close friends know you as a good listener.
You’re not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you’re generally considerate of others’ feelings as well.
You much prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute. Your decisions are well thought out, and you’re not the least bit impulsive.
You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.
If you want to be different:
Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!
