First there was spam. Now there is bacn (pronounced “bacon”), the latest buzzword to infiltrate the Internet.
According to the bloggers who invented the term, bacn is e-mail you want to read—just not now. It could be Facebook notifications, bank statements, Google news alerts, or any of the other sundry e-mails that you asked for, yet quickly pile up unread—like a week’s worth of newspapers.
Bacn is so-named because it’s better than spam, but not as good as a personal e-mail. And unlike spam, bacn is self-inflicted. You signed up for it, and you actually do want that information. But yet it still make you feel like it’s wasting your time.
刚开始是垃圾邮件，现在又来了个培根邮件（发音与英文“bacon”一致）。培根邮件是目前互联网上无处不在的一个热门词汇。
发明该词的博主给出的定义是：培根邮件是你想看的邮件，只不过不是马上就看的那种。培根邮件可能是来自Facebook的新提醒、银行账户的变动通知、谷歌发送的新闻提示，以及其他各类你自己订阅的邮件。这些未读邮件会迅速堆积起来，就像积了一周的报纸放在一起。
取名为“bacn（培根）”，是因为这类邮件并没有垃圾邮件那么烦人，但也不像个人邮件那么讨人喜欢。而且，跟垃圾邮件不同的是，培根邮件是用户自发订阅的。你注册订阅了这些邮件，你也确实需要邮件中提供的信息。只是你仍然会觉得阅读这些邮件是在浪费时间。
