BACN

Bacon without the o is bacn — but what exactly is it? Well, it’s the in between emails we receive that aren’t exactly important but aren’t spam. Get it? Got it.
Twitter follower emails, facebook adds, myspace friend requests etc could all be put into this category. We want to read them, we want to follow those who just added us, but don’t quite have the time to do it right this second. BACN it.
This new key term was coined this weekend at Podcamp at a discussion which I first heard of it from Jesse Hambley. Below is the video taken from the ijustine.tv archive (thus the poor quality) of Jesse and Tommy Vallier explaining exactly what this new meme is all about:

BACN can now be used for excuses:
“Sorry, I didn’t call you back.. I was sorting out some bacn”
“A movie? Ahh, I kinda have a lot of bacn to deal with..”
“Oh, you were saying something? I was bacn’ing.”
“Must have missed your email in all the bacn.”
