Man I REALLY like this idea. Props! Let us know how it goes please. I might be tempted to do the same thing with J2EE/Enterprise scalability focus, if there's any interest in that.

I wonder if this could be monitized, like pay for 15 minute blocks or something, both to increase the value to the provider and to cut down on potential abuse/time-suck. The value could be very well worth it to the caller I'd think. Like cam girls for tech/startup stuff...

Does Skype have any good collaborative whiteboarding software or can anyone recommend a web service that does that? I think that could be key.

I think there would be better ways to monetize than that. You could drive massive traffic here if it was collaborative instead of host and customer.

There was a service several years back where you could post a rate and a profile, and if people called they would pay to talk to you. It seems to have gone under as I can't find any references to it.

There a many services like that. Most of them are targeting a very different market though...
