LinkedIn has raised another $13M!

I was wondering how they were going to monetize this professionals’ social networking site. Is this part of the answer?

And another service that is already being tested quietly called LinkedIn Experts will be rolled out more broadly. It is a way to tap into LinkedIn’s knowledgebase (i.e, the social version of a database). Here’s how it works, accordig to Rabois:

It allows an investment fund or researchers to ask us to find the five top experts in a field. We will contact them. You chat with the expert for an hour for $500, and we keep half of it.

Perhaps LinkedIn should adopt a new slogan: Making connections pay.
