Hey,

One good thing a favicon is good for is users like us webmasters who have about 20 tabs opened at one time. The user knows what tab he wants click on by recognizing the favicon. This way the users doesn't have to waste their time looking for that website.

In short, the favicon distinguishes a website.

I agree with Whoosh, not only it distinguish your web site, but also it makes your web site looks more professional.
