A new term popped up all over the internet a few days ago and it is BACN. Now you may be asking yourself… WTF is Bacn?
For all those asking that question I will try and answer it for you. Now we all know what spam emails are. Emails that are unwanted junk mail. Bacn is a step up from spam. When you get an email about a person adding you as a friend on facebook. That would be Bacn. Emails from your favorite software company about an update. That would be Bacn. It’s the end of the month and you get an email with your phone bill. That would be Bacn. Bacn is all over your inbox.
Basically bacn are those emails that you want to receive but don’t have time to read or don’t need to read.
I use Gmail and it is great for handling all the bacn. I have gmail setup to label bacn emails and have it skip my inbox. So my inbox isn’t clogged because of Bacn.

The Homewrecker also known as TheRinger was born on this date in 1985. Kyle the quiet Kansas boy who is turning 22 today plays a key part in the JTV team. He dropped out of MIT to help Justin and the rest of the crew with the new startup. TheRinger is someone who has all around tech skills. He can do hardware and software. He’s gone from doing BattleBots to making it possible to stream live video from anywhere. Without Kyle there would be no Justin.tv. Happy Birthday to the Ringer.
The story featuring Justine’s 300 page iPhone bill has peaked I believe. Yesterday was a crazy day for Justine and also her JTV channel. The iBill video and story where all over the news and web. Justine at one point had her video on the front page of Yahoo.com and Myspace.com. Which is just crazy when you think about it. Yahoo is the most visited site on the web! The video on yahoo is now over 1 million views. Some of the other notable view counts on the video are:
Myspace – 794,754 Break.com – 548,013 Revver.com – 337,695
Youtube – 255,176 (The youtube view count is not accurate because other people have ripped the video and uploaded it to their accounts. After looking a bit I believe the youtube number is around 550,000)
The video has gotten tons of views within just a few days and the amount of stories about the bill has been great to watch also.
Hundreds of news articles and thousands of blog posts have been made about this. The amount of people coming to Justine’s channel has been rising everyday too. For the brief amount of time I was on yesterday I saw a huge amount of chatters. At one point my computer was starting to freeze because it could not handle the amount of messages in the chat. This is great for Justine and great for Justin.tv.
Our little Justine has grown so much in the past few days. The iPhone bill craze of 2007 has arrived and I’m really not surprised at the amount of attention she is getting. It was just a matter of time before she got some press. Let me just give you some numbers on the 300 page iPhone bill video. The video itself has been watched over 570,000 times. The most views coming at Break.com where it has over 360,000 views. The funny part about the video on Break.com is that it was submitted by Justine with the description of
This incredibly hot chick gets her first bill for the iPhone and although the bill was not excessive she received over 300 pages showing every text message she made with unlimited text messaging.
The story about the iPhone bill has been covered worldwide. TV and newspapers have taken notice about this story. Not to mention the hundreds of blogs that have talked about Justine and her boxed bill. USA Today did a nice writeup about it titled How many trees did your iPhone bill kill?. The reason this all started in my view is because of the Gizmodo story The Madness Begins, which was on the frontpage of DIGG.com and was dugg over 2000 times. Here is the video that everyone loves!
Something I keep seeing on every site is people asking the question “How can she do so much texting?” If you follow iJustine you would know that she has to touch her phone every few minutes. The phone vibrates nonstop all day. Between Facebook notifications and Twitter updates I can see her easily having 30,000 text messages. Just think of how many people are trying to either add her on facebook or sending her messages. I myself get about 25 text updates from facebook a day. Justine’s amount is probably off the charts. I’m glad to see Justine getting all this attention. Hopefully it will bring out the sponsors!
