It's already the eleventh google result for "bacn" (the first ten pointing to acronyms). Who says you can't change the English language in a weekend? :-)

I'm glad its better than spam when I follow someone on Twitter. Mmmmmm... bacn.

Bacn, it's better than spam, but it's still not steak.

I saw that term floating around Twitter for the last few days, now I know what it means :) Everything suddenly makes sense.

I walked into the think tank session near the registration table of Podcamp Pittsburgh (PCPGH2) where this term was gestating. It was truly an awesome thing to witness. Kind of like making sausage.
Oops. Sausage is going to be Web 3.0.

hahaha I was in that session also today. THIS is what Podcamp is about. What started as an idea in a hallway turned into a room full of people brainstorming on what could be a great thing.
No fakn' the bacn Brogan!

But don't forget - too much bacn can be unhealthy: it can lead to an enlarged head.

I switched to gmail 100% for it's bacn management. Everything else let me deal with it, but only after it hit my inbox and I was notified.
Gmail filters let me skip the inbox (and the notification popup), so I can have heaps of bacn coming in, and only have to deal with it when I want.

Here is some more Brogan Bacn.
Wanted to let everyone know I just made the Bacn folder on in Mail.

Glad you posted this... I start feeling totally un-geeklike when everyone on twitter is talking about something I've never heard of, again.

Has a verb form of bacn been discussed? "Stop bacn-ing me" sounds a little, well, off... and "Netflix is a pretty big bacn-er" doesn't quite work for me either. I'd like to propose "bacnize" - as in "I need to turn those notifications off, because Pownce is bacnizing me like crazy."

OK, that's it. I'm making a "Bacn" filter in my Gmail, STAT. Loves it!
Thanks, Chris!

I'm Canadian.
I love bacon.
bacn.
Whatever.
Christopher S. Penn

Is Canadian bacn larger and round? American bacn tends to just be emails with links in it, after all. Maybe Canadian bacn has more substance to it?
mitchjoel
· 2 years ago
nah, bacn is bacn.
But if bacn is just emails with links in it, shouldn't we call it:
sausge?

Bacn. Love the term. I get a lot of it these days.

As I twittered, I am a VEGETARIAN, so Bacn won't work for me :) I will settle for TOFU -- Mail that needs action, but not anytime soon. TOFU = To Follow Up.

What does Web 2.0 have against vowels, anyway?
Oh, sorry:

How about calling it 'Vowls' instead?
"Vowls: we know we need 'em, we just don't like 'em."

Spam and Sprouts?
"What does DLS think about this term? We're still deciding, but it's a little confusing since bacon is commonly referred to as money. Our proposal would be more along the lines of: 'brusselsprout - good under some conditions.' "
And I'm right there with Mr. Bacon Pants...degrading bacon this way is wrong!

Bacon is delicious. This type of email is crap. Fces would be a better term (pronounced feces).

Baloney! /web 2.0 = baln / (snicker) This type of e-mail is not crap. I love hearing that someone wants to add me as a friend or follower at a social network!

Vincent: Want some bacon? Jules: No man, I don't eat pork. Vincent: Are you Jewish? Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all. Vincent: Why not? Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood. Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.

If we all weren't so busy being clever in the self-referential ego chamber [and credit to Mr.ERMurrow for that], we'd all answer email as it arrived or sort it appropriately and be done with it.
But then we also might not have any of those really-stupid-if-you-think-about-them words such as "proactive" and "impact" (for "effect" OR "affect") and "stakeholder" and "friending" and anything N-point-zero. What would a world without them be?
There's evolution, and there's regression. I'd suggest that anything that makes a bunch of tech folks look laughable may well be the latter.

BACN: The best buzzword money can buy!
Tracey Thomas

I notified the Activerain bunch of the new "buzz word".
As I twittered, I am a VEGETARIAN, so Bacn won’t work for me :) I will settle for TOFU — Mail that needs action, but not anytime soon. TOFU = To Follow Up.
SPAM, awful-nobody wants it TOFU, the middle class email TO Follow Up we want it just probably not Now. Personal eMail, We love it! Anytime, anyplace. What about this time not another meat/manufactured meat term for this?

This term begs for a reverse acronym. How about BACN: Bland Automated Community Notifications?
