| Frequently
Asked Questions. These act like mini help pages on all sorts of
topics. The FAQ
(pronounced FAK) or list of "frequently-asked questions" (and
answers) has become a feature of the Internet. The FAQ seems to have
originated in many of the Usenet groups as a way to acquaint new
users with the rules. Today, there are thousands of FAQs on the
World Wide Web.
To see the range and variety
of topics for which FAQs have been written, go to Google or any
major search engine, and enter "faq" or "faqs" in the search entry
box. To find a FAQ on a subject of interest (for example,
hedgehogs), enter "faq and hedgehogs"(without the quotes). Also note
that the number of subjects on which you will NOT find a FAQ is also
large. The most useful FAQs are often found at a Web site you've
discovered through other search approaches. |
