| Aug 6, 2012 at 15:55 | comment | added | Brian | I guess I could see favicon missile command as an April Fools joke, though April Fool's jokes are usually bad UX, especially on professional sites aimed at users trying to get work done (i.e., as opposed to webcomics, game sites, entertainment/humor sites, etc.). | |

| Aug 3, 2012 at 21:52 | comment | added | user16832 | It would make a good game like missile command...when you click on it it tells you the domain and disappears...I might make it an option...but make it obvious where they come from...so you can click them off it it bothers you... | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 21:26 | comment | added | drawtheweb | I wanted to click them so bad as they fell, like some sort of challenge. I would take this out. Mine the data, pop the top 10 most 'favorited' sites to some top 10 list. Have a most recent favorited sites, etc. Definitely more relevant yet still fun. | |

| Aug 3, 2012 at 21:14 | comment | added | DA01 | "don't know if this is pertinent to UX". Ask that question. Does your 'favicon rain' enhance the user experience of the user? Or does it distract? Often things done 'just for fun' are bells and whistles that the client may love, but usually don't benefit the end-user a whole lot. | |
