SEOize your iPhone
Barry Schwartz posted about how to add a desktop icon to your iphone bookmarks that is now available with the latest iPhone update. I thought it would be pretty cool to have a page with a bunch of my favorite blogs in our industry. I am not sure what percentage of folks in our industry are running an iPhone (I’ve heard how Danny feels), so I went ahead and created icons for a dozen or so sites.
Here is a shot of my Search Blogs iPhone page.
Hopefully nobody takes offense to me grabbing their logos (or in the case of Eli just doing a quick Google Images Search). Instead I did it in hopes that this will motivate folks to starting making their own desktop logos. So if you have an issue, please let me know.
I could not figure out an easy way to do this off the top of my head, so I just created a directory/page for each site with a link over to their blog/site. Now that I have it saved in my iPhone I think I can set up redirects, but I am not sure if there is an easy way for others to save the bookmark on their iPhone. Any know a better way to do this from a 3rd party standpoint?

Cool stuff
I’ll put it on my iPod Touch, until someone sends me an iPhone

I’m surprised at how many sites haven’t added iPhone icon code on their site for bookmarked favicons.

I am suprised too. LinkedIn does not have one and neither does Yahoo or eBay. Seems like just a matter of time though. Facebook, CNN, Fox News, and Amazon all do.

I also discovered that the icons do not automatically update. Google Reader has a new one, but I already had a shortcut on my desktop from previously which did not update. I had to bookmark it again for it to pull the new logo.
