Where can I pay for expertise? Need a Google Answers-type site with VOIP.

I want to pay money for expertise, but with less hassle than on guru.com. Maybe some sort of cross between Google Answers and Skype Prime.
There are all sorts of subjects I would like to talk about with an expert. My needs could range from simple questions ("How does technology X work?") to personal tutoring ("Teach me the basics of counterpoint in music.")
Preferably this should work via VOIP, so either some sort of voice-enabled Google Answers or a Skype Prime marketplace would work.
I could post each and every question on sites like Guru.com, but that would be too much of a hassle in these cases.
Oh hive mind, what canst thou recommend?
On a side note: Why did Google pull the plug on Answers anyway?

There's Ask A Scientist, which is free and web-based, but staffed by many experts in scientific fields.

The most common answer to your side note question is that Google lost to Yahoo! Answers.
