More proof of the speed of the internet. The term "bacn" (e-mail you want, just not now: myspace alerts, twitter followers, newsletters, etc.) was coined during PodCamp Pittsburgh 2 on Sunday, and as of today, Wednesday, according to Technorati, there are over 350 blog posts containing the word, and it's the 14th most popular search term of the day.

A few more mentions: Wired, Washington Post, CNET, Steve Rubel's Micro Persuasion, The Jeff Pulver Blog, Geek Sugar, A.M.magazine (in German).

The ridiculous power of the internet.

Is "bacn" a pithy acronym for something (big ass collection of notes?) or did the name come from bacon being a slightly higher quality of food source than spam?

It just lacks egg and we'd have nearly all the ingredients for a monty python recipe ;).

I'd just like to point out that you have got veggie bacon in the picture. It sucks, and smells like Smoky Bacon walkers crisps when you fry it
