There are several places in Intranet systems where short lists of frequently asked questions (FAQs) can save valuable time for both the knowledge worker who has the answer and the coworker who is looking for a quick response to a reasonably simple question.

“I know I saw that somewhere, but I just can’t remember where.” We have probably all said this to ourselves at one time or another and then proceeded to hunt and peck through document libraries hoping to stumble across the article we are looking for.
