No, I said BACN.

Once in a while I run into a new term that I find very intriguing so I have decided to start a "lingo" category.

Let's get into.  In the world of electronic mail we have HAM and SPAM but the new kid on the block is BACN (pronounced bacon).  This is the term given to email messages that you want receive but not read right away. A good example of BACN is newsletters that you have intentionally subscribed to, electronic invoices or billing statements, messages from friends from social networking platforms such as Myspace or even changes to wiki where the user happens to be a collaborator.

The term was coined in August 2007 at Podcamp Pittsburgh, a social media "unconference" attended by bloggers and podcasters.
