#8. Bacn
Similar to Internet spam, this term covers news alerts and other email that
individuals signed up to receive but may never get around to actually
reading. Much like the pork product it is named after, bacn is something we
desire even though it clogs our (electronic) arteries. And like many techy
terms, it is willfully misspelled. Bacn was coined in August at a gathering
of new media experts dubbed PodCamp Pittsburgh. That's right — something hip
started in Pittsburgh.
