We do have one. Works for me, at least. What browser are you on?

IE 70.5730.11 Is what I use from work, which is where I am now. I use Firefox at home, and yeah I seem to remember one being there. Hmm... weird.

I just tested on my other computer at work running the same version of IE (it's also on a different network) still no favico.ico

Ok, well I dug around the source code and found it:

http://static1.videosift.com/videosift/favicon.gif

but usually it needs to be in .ico format, usually just a rename of a .png file will work.

i think it's better to have both .ico and .gif and link to both... but i am not sure.

rename a .png? i thought it was rename a .bmp oh well, live and learn.

Has to be PNG if you want an alpha channel.

I've never had a problem with the favicon in any web browser. Can't recreate your issue in ie 6, 7 or ff.

but usually it needs to be in .ico format, usually just a rename of a .png file will work.
