The favicon issue is actually a Chrome bug. Sites that don't provide a favicon will sometimes end up with the favicon of the referrer.

It's not identical, just looks like the same orange with a single white letter in the middle, only noticed when clicking between the two just how similar they were.

Wasn't aware of the Chrome bug though, thanks.

At the same time they likely have a couple of extra inbound links. :D

They should just use Postini and let Google handle it. Really impressive service that.
