forget spam junk email ,think “bacon “
Science has solved spam junk email. Once the scourge of in-boxes everywhere, spam junk email now sets off automatic traps that identify, quarantine, and eliminate spam junk email with near perfect accuracy. So why do in-boxes still feel so cluttered?
The answer to it is "bacon "
"Bacon is all of your Facebook notifications or bank e-mails saying that a bill is due," says Tommy Vallier, a social media consultant and one of the people that coined the term at a Pittsburgh technology conference in 2007. "We came up with the word just as bacon really started to become a problem."
The best way to manage bacon is by using filters and most modern email clients ,such as Gmail or Outlook provide it free of cost .
If this all sounds like too much work as compared to deleting spam junk email , Gmail introduced an experimental Priority Inbox feature late last year. The service automatically sorts your in-box, placing friends or desired bacon at the top and nuisance mail near the bottom. How does it figure out which is which? Priority Inbox tries to learn by watching which letters you reply to, which you simply read, and which you ignore. It then ranks incoming messages in that order, so important letters always rise to the top.
Unlike spam junk email , bacon often comes with the option to unsubscribe. So rather than his bacon and let it pile up, its easier if its unsubscribed and it does take time but than it seems to be the most easiest solution.
