eh, specialized advice can be given in short bursts like that. The problem is filtering your pool of experts. I'll give someone who I have reason to believe knows the answer to my question well over a dollar a minute. but I'm doing this because I don't know the answer, so you'd have to filter the pool for me. even if it is something I know about, you can't usefully evaluate a person in a minute. an easy one might be lawyer questions... I hear there are many unemployed lawyers right now? accountant questions, too. I'd pay more than a dollar a minute for that sort of thing, especially if I could get useful answers in a small number of minutes. If you want $1/minute work for people who don't have advanced degrees, you will have to do more vetting, but that's okay. How about I pay a fashion expert a dollar or two to tell me if a shirt fits me okay? my cellphone has a camera. But if I'm paying, you've gotta certify that the person has taste. I don't have taste so I can't tell if the person on the other end does.
