Wikipedia defines a favicon as:
"A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage.[1] A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FaviconI describe it as making my browser look good and reduce the time it takes to identity the website in the browser tabs, saving me precious seconds which I could be using to look at free streaming porn. Flash sites are the worse.. not just for the favicon, but they all lack one it seems. An example of this is http://www.wbrettwilson.ca/ . They use the common flash based celebrity styled website format which sucks ass if you ask me.. Why you say does such a little thing bother me? Well from a users perspective we define good or bad based on what the big guys do. Thus if google has a favicon and you don't then in that one single aspect google has done a better job than you. It seems so small but when you consider often it is the small details that make people leave your site, not trust your site.. can you afford to not take 10 minutes to create a simple image? If you are using flash it is harder I understand but then again what the heck are you doing using flash which I yell about next time.. They call me the urlpirate and this is my cobweb...I yell at websites...
