[Bug 1388665] Re: Use the favicon identification code for social media profiles
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1391004 ***

Ah, I think I see. I had thought that favicons were like robot.txt
files, just a file called "favicon.ico" under the domain root. But the
standard for them actually says they're placed with a <link> tag in the
page's <head>.
So going through Google (or another favicon service) saves us the
overhead of fetching and parsing the page to find out the favicon URL.

Title:
Use the favicon identification code for social media profiles
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you create a new social media profile, the identifying icon is
the default globe. This is not great when you want to add a lot of
social media profiles that Mahara doesn't know about.
What about repurposing the code we use for identifying a site and
displaying its favicon as we do in the iframe sources? Richard wrote
some nifty code to fetch the favicon from any site. If it can't be
found, the default icon is displayed. If we wanted to get very fancy,
we could also add the option to specify a favicon (like we can for the
iframe sources).
