What is a webclip? It’s a feature in Apple’s Safari browser in Leopard where you can make a dashboard widget out of any Web site. You hit the clip button, select the area to include and accept it. Apple’s WebKit Safari rendering engine does the rest.
On the iPhone, beginning with firmware 1.1.3, you can add websites to your springboard and you’ll get a little icon for the site. If there’s a custom webclip icon, you’ll see that (which is nice), otherwise, you’ll get a teeny-tiny icon showing whatever you were last looking at on the site.
If you want to create a custom webclip icon for your website, here’s a nice little tutorial. Someone should create one for BBB (hint-hint).
Here is a list of sites known to support webclips:
