  1. Use about:blankIf u dont need any specific site everytime u log in I mean if u use different sites all the time.If u need to go to social networking sites all the time then either put one with less traffic as homepage or put the one u visit most.I personally think Google.com is bestAs it is just HTML u dont need much time loading. It doesnt have any big onload script so there is a lesser possiblity of a crash if u are using a low config PC.Yahoo is most popular one. But I strongly recommend not to use it as it has too much stuff & needs a really bad time on a slow PC & even on fast PCS it is not a great choice
