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

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?

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.

Back to the uphill battle,

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.

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!

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

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.' "
