Silicone to seal tyre holes?

I got my very first flat (at least since I was a kid) today. A piece of glass that managed to (just barely) penetrate the protective weave.

The glass left a small hole in the tyre, and I can just imagine that over time, stuff will be "sucked up" into that hole and possibly cause another flat. Would it for any reason be a bad idea to fill such a hole with a drop or two of silicone (the kind used for wet areas)?
