Unlike Mikons, though, ours is entirely browser based (and in color!) We are still in beta but pretty psyched with how it is coming along. And we do a lot more than just paint and draw.

Let's just say, Mikons won't be the next Myspace. I see where the developers are coming from; the idea of Mikons being the 21st century answer to the prehistoric petroglyph. But, there's one problem... Cavemen drew pictures on walls because they didn't have a written language yet, and since the written word came into play, petroglyphs have generally gone out of fashion. Short answer: I can see people sticking these on their Myspace pages, or on t-shirts, but I also see this becoming a fad unless the developers have a larger plan up their sleeves.

I tried it out but since I am someone that uses Illustrator regularly, It actually hindered me because it was too simplified. I am sure for the laymen it would be a lot more exciting. This may be just me, but I don't understand what would be compelling enough to make someone become a long-term member/contributor.

One problem about this Mikons site. It doesn't support my OS. I have a MacBook Pro running the Universal Binary version of OS X and it's telling me that I have to restart my browser (Safari and/or Firefox) and run it through Rosetta if I want to use the site. This is because the entire site is built with Macromedia Shockwave, which isn't out for UB yet. So tough luck for all of us Intel-Mac users.

Their tools can do quite a lot. But why no color (their site design could do with some too)? Strangely, their FAQ doesn't address this. It's not much use without color IMO.

The tool to make the icons is pretty nice and once you figure out how to do things like copy an object it's pretty easy to use. However, I think the lack of color really limits its potential... I hope they change that eventually. As a programmer, I really like what they did.

Keeping in mind, of course that these favicons should only be used to point to the same site that they were picked up from. If I use a favicon from one site on a different site *as* a favicon, then I would consider myself to be cheating, ethically, if not doing something illegal outright. I made and maintain a set of social bookmarking templates on my site for usage on Blogger and Wordpress (in a nice click to show/hide way with tooltips), that rely quite heavily on a site's favicon to portray it's identity. I think this makes the whole social bookmarking concept look pretty while staying within the bounds of "correct usage". My blogger template for social bookmarking is on public demo at: http://dhigu.blogspot.com. I think favicons, by the way they are used, are meant to be used by any and everyone.
