Why Sharepoint?
I get that a lot, along with - what is sharepoint? My standard answer is basically this; Sharepoint is like a swiss army knife. It has many application and uses. It is an intranet portal, it is a centralized document repository with search function. Sometimes, I say its Microsoft office in a web form. But most of the time, showing them is better than trying to explain it.
Buzz words like social computing and online collaboration mean very little to those that are not fluent in the geek speak. Weird, I know. But there are actually people out there that want things in plain english.
