The place I work for is closing down and I'm going to be laid off in a few weeks. I am searching for a new job opportunity and have been applying to many places. The work I've been doing deals with the computer/internet so I find that on many job applications they ask more personalized questions like:
"What is your most visited website?"
and
"What is your favorite website?"
I don't want to name something stupid or make myself look bad or immature. What are some really good suggestions for my favorite or most-visited website so this employer won't turn me down?
Additional info, added Saturday March 20 2010, 2:30 am: I understand the basics of not putting down social-networking sites or websites directed to the youth. I would like more specific suggestions than, "A news site," or, "Not MySpace!"
Though I absolutely love giving advice, this site is mainly directed toward youth (teenagers) so I am afraid to list it.
If I list things like CNN, NBC, FOXNEWS, etc. then it looks like I'm making something up, clearly. I'm 23 years old.

If you like catching up with current events, any news website would be great.
If you have an interesting hobby or if you're a sports fans, respective websites could speak to your extraneous skills, etc.
Depending on the kind of job you're taking, something related to it would be great too. For example, if you're a designer - if your favorite website is something related to creativity, that speaks volumes.
