Favicons in Gmail

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Favicon is the short name for favorite icon and also known as website icon, shortcut icon, url icon or bookmark icon which will be mostly 16×16 pixel square icon related to a particular website. I came to know that Favicons are started to appear in Gmail mails next to the mail messages after the subject and before the datetime.

So far, these favicons next to mails in Gmail are displayed for NetFlix only at present. This message was originally published by MG Siegler at Tech Crunch. These favicons will sure bring our attention to the mails and allow us to sort mails visually. You can check the favicon displayed to the mail from NetFilx in the gmail to the favicon displayed in the addressbar for the NetFlix website.

But I couldn’t see it in my Gmail even I tried to get password retrieval mail from NetFlix.
