I created this page becuase i had heard a Reference to the term and didn't know what it meant and searched for it on wiki, I then heard an explination on buzz out loud ( http://podcast-files.cnet.com/podcast/cnet_buzzoutloud_082207.mp3) which explained what the term means.
I might not have written a great artical which needs improvements but i don't think it deserves deleation. Couple of more references include: http://www.hill-kleerup.org/blog/2007/08/22/baconbaconbacon.html http://topazpartners.blogspot.com/2007/08/bacn-new-spam-but-how-it-can-be-good.html http://www.boingboing.net/2007/08/22/bacn_spreads_around_.html
Claims this is a "popular" term among the blogging community are not substantiated. Better to say "used by some bloggers". I've blogged for years, and read blogs for years and never encountered the term before today. (Google used it). I think there is a place for this term, and I like how the use of a "non-real" term bacn vs bacon avoids confusion. I would suggest that we drop the popularity claim for now and in a year if popularity actually develops, it can be re-added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.53.175.249 ( talk) 15:49, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Google pulls up c. 177k hits for "bacn" (less British, Battlefield, and Bay Area). On the other hand, every major use is people trying to explain what it is and get others to use it. It's notable, but not necessarily "popular." On the other hand, shouldn't this be a wiktionary entry instead? It's just a term. — LlywelynII 10:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with deleting this article. It may not be amazingly well written, or overly informative, but there's not much more that needs to be said about it. I read about it on a blog, and had no idea what it was, and several other blogs did no better job explaining it, so I went to wikipedia, and bam! there's the answer. That's what wikipedia is for. dimo414 23:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Once I know what bacn "means", the only other thing I care about is what does it stand for -- or, if it's not an acronym at all, why is it "bacn" rather than "bacon"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirkpete ( talk • contribs) 11:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I too heard it came from some pod caster's convention, however, it there tangible evidence of this? Can we add a reference? -- Dave Marcucci( talk) 20:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
A mention and link in the Gmail blog will probably make this page quite popular. Paulmorriss ( talk) 16:10, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
There were two sentences before about Gmail using the term bacn when rolling out their new advertising model along with a new system of prioritizing mail. It read more like a promotion of Gmail than anything informative or interesting (and in fact Gmail linked viewers to the wiki on bacn). If anyone's going to reinstitute the piece on Gmail at least leave out the completely irrelevant part of Gmail also filtering spam from inboxes. Simply using the word bacn a couple times does not qualify two sentences' worth of mention of Gmail's products. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heymon32 ( talk • contribs) 09:00, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
This is ridiculous, this page should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.183.254.230 ( talk) 07:01, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
