9 years ago I'm sorry the process is not really transparent as we haven't decided for a fixed set of rules for inclusion yet. Think that each icon that we add makes the default set more heavy ; there is a balance to strike between usefulness and weight (alternatively it would be nice to have grouped sub-sets of the icon distributed as well). Thinking out loud here are a couple of items which could be used for the inclusion decision:
- Link to service or software home.
- How notable is the service ? (eg: page rank, age, ...)
- Is the service used as an identity provider ? (eg: can you use it to log into other sites with it)
- Does the service allow to embed content into other sites ?
- Does the service allow to post content from other sites ?
The main question would be: in what cases would you see the icon being used on other websites ?
