Despite claims to the contrary, email will never die.

Case in point, a new species discovered in the wild- bacn.

Putting it simply, Bacn is email you receive that isn’t spam… And isn’t personal mail. It’s the middle class of email. It’s notifications of a new post to your Facebook wall or a new follower on Twitter. It’s the Google alert for your name and the newsletter from your favorite company

For me bacn is things like phone bills, power bills, and notification for domain renewals. Stuff that is important and I need to read I just don’t want to read. I’m sure you get a sizable share of your own personal flavor of bacn. For tips on dealing with it, or just old fashioned commiseration check out the bacn forum.
