Last week at PodCamp Pittsburgh 2 “bacn” was coined to describe email that you want but don’t want to read right now. This can include social network notices from Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, email newsletters, and more.

‘Bacn’ is an emerging Web 2 term already being widely used. Putting it bluntly, ‘bacn’ is: “Notifications you want. But not right now.” You know all those notifications, newsletters, project notifications, updates etc. that you sign up for and really, really want to keep up to date on but don’t seem to have the time for right now? (and now, and now, and now). Well, that is ‘bacn.’

Use it like this:

“I’m reading through my bacn”

“I got so much bacn today!”

“Dude, enough with the bacn already!”
