It's pretty simple, they just put this in to an animated gif:
< link href="/images/OMG_icon.gif" TYPE="image/gif" REL="icon" >It doesn't animate in WebKit though.
It's way too distracting, especially in Firefox where it appears in both the address bar and the tab.

Thanks guys and don't worry I will definitely not use it, at least not in this way for sure.
can you have a static favicon in gif format with a transparent background?
Thanks,

I see no problem with using animated favicons. Distracting? They're tiny images at the very top of your browser, how is that distracting? I think Firefox has done a great deal making itself compatible with animated gif favicons. Brilliant :3
tutorial: Animated favicons

In the meantime (2006 since last reaction), insights have developed. Furthermore the Firefox installed base increased until 40% (for my site).
I have just launched a concept with animated favicons. I've created six animated favicons (different favicons for different tabs/ares), integrated with my (own) personal brand strategy. That implies that my face is shown, including attributes. On opening a page (or bookmarks) they are standing still, actually 80% of the time. After a little while, a sometimes funny, movie is played in the favicon.
Here's the site and a posting with lots of background info:

For the next step I consider let the favicon 'play' with the title or starting a sound. That would be great. But it should all be very subttle, as lots of animated favicons will soon irritate.
I'm interested in what you think!
