It let users know what site they were on, given the lack of aesthetic beauty in websites 15+ years ago versus today (content and stylesheets did not convey where you were as salient as they do today, given people are more in-tuned in making their sites look good). I think the favicon is a hold over from years gone by: a vestigial organ that was needed in the past; a nice thing have today, albeit removing it will cause no damage to the holistic system.

I don't think it has any marketing value whatsoever :) Enjoy tonight and have a great 2008. Alex - we'll hear more of each other for sure ;) Cheers, Phil Hey guys,
