Ask YC: Why does Paul Graham use the Yahoo favicon?

It _is_ the Yahoo! logo. paulgraham.com still runs on Viaweb, which is now Yahoo Store, which is probably where the favicon comes from.

I remember pg saying in a comment or article somewhere that his site was one of the few remaining sites still running on the old viaweb system (presumably the one written in lisp).

According to a more recent post, Yahoo! forced Paul to move to the C++ version in the Fall; he experienced some side effects, from what I remember reading.

Yes, how sure are you? I read somewhere that Viaweb was rested by yahoo and the yahoo webstore as we know it is code written in C++ and not lisp.

From the source of http://paulgraham.com/articles.html : "// Begin Y! Store Generated Code"

I didn't mean to imply anything about the code or architecture of Yahoo! Store, just about its origin.
