For A Good Time, Call.

Hmmm... who gets paid for talking on the phone?  Tech support guys...  video game tipsters...  Uh, can you think of any more clean examples?

Skype is adding a feature where one party can request to be paid (either an upfront fee or by the minute) for carrying on a conversation.  So now you can start whatever kind of phone based moneymaking scheme you've been dreaming of, without having to be completely legit.  Of course Skype reserves 30% of the fee for themselves, but passes the rest directly into your Paypal account.  (Is 30% a pretty standard pimping fee, or are they way off base here?)
