Google Webmaster Tools Favicon Site List

What’s different is that in the site list, Webmaster Tools is now also showing the the little icon that appears in browser tabs. It’s called a “favicon” after the “favicon.ico” file in which it resides.

Once you click on a site for more info on that site, the favicon also shows in the site selector dropdown:

Although this doesn’t really add any functionality, it just makes Webmaster Tools a little more aesthetically pleasing. But if you have a large number of sites, it could be easier to scan the list of your sites.

Other websites reporting the addition of favicon to Webmaster Tools include
Tim Cohn’s Search Marketing Communications, Search Engine Roundtable, and DigitalPoint Forums.
