Did you have to cancel a trip because of the Islandic Volcano? You meeting might very well end up on Skype. Make sure you look the part. Are you sharing or scaring? We have put together 5 quick steps to looking good in a flash before you turn on the cam.

It is so easy these days. You are chatting on Skype, MSN, Google or what ever chat programme that enriches your life. You are all smiles, hysterical jokes and insightful remarks.

But honestly- should you be sharing, or will you be scaring, the person you are talking to?
