  • Publication number: 20080104065
    Abstract: Automatically generating and updating of frequently asked question (FAQ) lists are described herein. User inputs requesting information are matched to stored question and answer pairs, and values associated with the stored question and answer pairs are manipulated. An FAQ list may be generated and updated by selecting relevant question and answer pairs by comparing parameters supplied by an authoritative user (e.g., a webmaster) with values associated with the stored question and answer pairs. Selected question and answer pairs are added to the FAQ list, which may be displayed on a web site. Additionally, the FAQ list may be updated with new question and answer pairs based on parameters from the authoritative user or varying values in known question and answer pairs.
