This is an iPhone web app for changing the icon of webpages
The add-to-home icon is decided by the webpage itself.
Although you can scroll and zoom to the suitable position if there are no icon prepared , but there are webpages that can't fit what you want
Just like Google Hong Kong (http://google.com.hk)
←The icon is too small, you can only get an icon like this
It is not easy to recognize at all
And also, what if I don't like the default icon?
Icon should be decided by yourself,
because you are the one who use it!
There are people who tried to customize the icon of a webpage:Here
It is a bookmarklet, you can enter a address of icon, and it will cover the original one
but who can remember the whole address?

add2home(http://b123400.net/add2home) customizes the icon as you want
It is also a bookmarklet, but it helps you to search for suitable icons
For example, if you are browsing yahoo, and find out that yahoo don't provide that icon
you can use this bookmarklet, and it recommends you
You can press that and this icon will be ready for your home screen immediately
If site that you are visiting does not have an icon on our server, you may upload it
as you can uploaded the icon, it will appear as a recommendation to people that come from that site
Of course you can set the icon to be private so others won't see it (eg. You want your girl friend's face to replace the google logo.)

Just as you like it to be appear on your home screen, Icon can be something interesting like this:
While everyone share their icon, you will not be desperate about the ugly-default-icon anymore!
