I once was asked to name what sites I read on the web to keep up to date and I gave a few places, he wrote them down,
"and what was the last article you read on these sites?"
"ehh... well..."
Got the gig but the moral of the story is never over extend in an interview.

Surely, we all only have one meaningful site in our lives - CUK.
OP, when asked this question by interviewers you should use it as an opportunity to sell CUK to them.
