From the NPR story… “bacn is e-mail you want to read — just not now.” Check out the story on NPR or go to the official website.

Bacn Spotting Guide

Spam versus bacn. How can you tell the difference? It’s easy. An e-mail offering you an incredible deal on Viagra is spam, since you (probably) didn’t solicit it. Bacn is e-mail you asked for, and eventually want to read. Below are some examples of bacn:

  • An e-mail from an airline updating your frequent flier account
  • An e-mail from you favorite pet store announcing a sale on gerbil supplies
  • An e-mail from your local newspaper with a rundown of the day’s headlines
  • An e-mail from Facebook announcing that you have a new friend
  • An e-mail from your bank with your monthly balance

I know, I know.  A whole month without a post?  I’ve go so much going on at work and home that little time or energy is available for my many side projects.  But I had some bacon over the weekend which reminded me to do some work here.

Check out the news article about the guy that made an award winning bacon and egg flavored ice cream.
