Animated favicons 05Dec05

A few minutes ago, i found something interesting about favicons on this site

Maybe everyone already knew about these, but I just stumbled on them a few weeks ago and found some more yesterday. Visit these websites (preferable with Firefox) and check out the favicons for each - they are all animated!

Some Examples here:

http://www.pokelondon.com/
http://www.bnr.bg/
http://www.megatomte.com/
http://www.cleverwasteoftime.com/

The icons for each site on the Firefox tabs are animated and when you bookmark them, the bookmark icon is animated too. A quick peek at the HTML shows they simply have a 16×16 animated gif and point the page to that as their favicon with this:

( NOTE: <> changed to [] so this would show up)
[link href=”images/favico.gif” TYPE=”image/gif” REL=”icon”]
