I just created favicons for all our sites. I have to admit I get a tingly sensation whenever I see the little guy in the address bar. Somehow it has a validating effect, like a hood ornament on a luxury car.

I was hoping no one would notice!

Is it delicious irony that neither Webiscope nor rwjuh.edu have implemented said favicon?

That’s interesting.. hadn’t considered that before. I’ve never noticed favicon error, but I do know that browsers do automatically look for it. Very interesting, and a hilarious way to find out about it!

Well, honestly, I created one for our site a year or two ago mostly because I got tired of seeing favicon.ico showing up in my stats as a popular error. Browsers look for it automatically, I guess, and when they don’t find the file, it triggers an error, even though the user never knows it.
