Bacn Versus Spam

The Toronto Star had a nice story a few days ago available here on the new term “bacn” (spelled without the “o”) which describes email you want but not necessarily right now (how full are your folders in your RSS reader?).

The term is heavily mentioned when searching on it in Google Blog Search.
