Skype Enters The Phone Sex Business March 8, 2007
Posted by David Kaye in : Business, Adult , 5 commentsSkype rolled out Skype Prime today. The company calls it an “expertise marketplace”: it allows Skype users to register as experts in a particular topic and charge by the minute for their services. This is not the first service of its kind - Keen was doing this as early as 1999 - but it’s also an open secret that by far the most popular kinds of expertise to be delivered in this manner are phone sex and psychic readings. Keen’s homepage title admits as much: “Keen: Psychic Readings, Love and Relationship Advice, Tarot, Astrology, Horoscopes and Therapy”. Ahh, therapy. Beautiful euphemism.
