It has a name now
Hey. Long summer no posts. I blame… well I really don’t need to explain myself to you, you’re a blog and I own you. Stay in line.
Anyways, all that PR spam I was complaining about in the prior post now has a name, thanks to some apparently very recent web 2.0 jargon creation:
bacn: Email you very well may want at some point, but not at the moment. Low urgency communications that really need their own repository separate from the inbox. A higher grade meat than spam, but not quite the gourmet stuff.
Boing Boing posted about it today, and apparently since being coined last Sunday it’s now all over the place. Including here.
The internet must give etymologists nightmares.
