Thanks JoeCascio on Twitter for this one.

You have the problem with Spam, which we all hate.. but then you start to get all these email notifications from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, that start to clog up your inbox.  They are not emails you don’t want.. they are just emails that you don’t have time to look at right now!

Coined at PodCamp Pittsburgh 2 last year, theyspm were obviously playing off the Spam name.. and I guess bacon is a step up from Spam, hence the name.

They even had t-shirts for a little while there!

Got a message from the bacon enthusiasts at bacn.com which said: “We take issue with your word of the day … we believe it means “friggin’ awesome bacon” … kthxbai … :-)” :grin:
