Money for nothing and the VoIP for free?

Web2ourist:

...Another popular business model is the connection-to-expert service. In this business model the service provider connects a client interested in consulting services with an expert that could assist him. The revenues from this model are taken as percentage of the expert consulting fees and not as “VoIP minutes”.

Some of the companies which provide such services are: Liveperson / Kasamba – Liveperson is the leading chat and VoIP application for web sites which recently bought Kasamba, the expert advice company, the cooperation and synergy between the companies is interesting. LiveMDexpert is another company providing medical consulting services including VoIP video and medical data via flash without the need to download anything

Bitwine http://BitWine.com uses Skype in order to connect advice seekers with experts.

The expert connection seems like a profitable business model although its market might be small at the moment, we will see if expert connection companies could grow it to include other forms of interaction besides expert consulting, maybe dating?
