It’s any email you receive that isn’t spam, but isn’t exactly a personal message either. Your electronic phone bill is bacn. Your Google alerts are bacn.
Bacn. It’s better than spam.

When you receive email that Geek is now following you on Twitter and Jennifer Gold just wrote on your Facebook wall, that’s bacn (pronounced “bacon”).

Low-priority email that is somewhere between the spam & personal email that enters your inbox every day. Examples include account alerts, newsletters, payment receipts and twitter requests. Bacn differentiates itself from spam in that it's email that you probably want to receive, but just don't have the time to deal with right now, and it has become an increasing problem in the age of web 2.0 & online social networking.
The term was coined by folks at the PodCamp Pittsburgh 2 Conference on or around August 19th, 2007.

Joe: Dude, I missed my brother's bar mitzvah because I spent the day reading through all the bacn in my inbox.
Danny: You're such a tool.
Joe: Can't... stop. Too weak... to manage alerts. Must... label... auto-archive... cut the fat.

Bacn, pronounced 'bacon', is "Notifications you want, but not right now."
Moreover, it's those e-mails you get from sites (such as Twitter, Facebook, Viddler), that you want, but don't really have time for.
Bacn is a step above spam, and a step below personal e-mail.

"Sorry I didn't get back to you! I was catching up on all my bacn."
"Dude, I got so much bacn, today!"
"Sorry I lost your e-mail in all the bacn."
