Help via video chat

Apple recently started supporting help via iChat AV on their support page. I have not used it, so I have no idea if it works or not - but someone wrapped a business model around that idea.

Flavor Sofa (no idea where this name comes from) focuses on helping people connect, and be compensated for helping people out via iChat AV. Say you are extremely good at dicing onions without tearing - you can help someone out via video chat and actually be paid for it!

I’d actually consider doing this for some very high-level things like database development, high-end programming needs and various other things. Only because I would only want to spend the time if I was going to be able to bank 30 minutes to an hours worth of help. Any takers?
