Not a typo.
Bacn is the word for the new, anti-spam spam email that we Web2.0-ers get daily in the form of “friend requests,” social networking invites, Twitter “nudges,” e-Bills, subscription updates, and their brethren.
Tasty little morsels of content, but they don’t add much substance or nutritive value to our not-exactly-thinning Inbox waistlines.
My advice: I know it can be really, really awesome, but try not to eat too much.
Duh.
(Thanks to Chris Brogan to explaining this already-sweeping-across-the-Web phenomenon).
