Buzzword Watch: Bacn
June 19, 2008
Buzzword alert: bacn - yep, that’s “bacon” minus the O. It differs from its less-desirable cousin spam, in that bacn, while also a variety of delicious pork product, is defined as email that you solicited, but still may consider a distraction. Examples include automated messages from sites such as Facebook or CNN breaking news alerts. So, bacn could be categorized as living in the middle ground between your normal email and spam.
