| User-created weblinks appear like the "@ document" on the left in your image.
The sping icon on the right, as far as I know, is only used for one thing: a link to some new user documentation by Apple, and it appears in the default Dock setup (like when you first install OS X or create and log in as a new user).
That's the only time I've ever seen that spring icon, and, just like you, the first thing I do if I ever reinstall or makea new user is remove it from the Dock.
