Example is http://me.com. All main navigation are icons without any
labels. And this is the only case when those icons can possibly work
alone, because Mac users already got used to them.

But I would not rank that one as a website. It's more like
application.

Krystal posted very nice link. I can add that it can be rather
difficult to recognize an action behind the icon, so they should be
really made with that in mind. Also there is a topic with different
shapes for icons on the same bar & color usage.

In general, the support problem with using icons is that you will
need to make new one's each time you change existing or add new menu
item.
