Open Sky: social shopping network (with discounts).

These days, it seems everything is about social media and social networks. Open Sky is a new site being billed as a "social network for shopping".

What does that mean?

Well, you build your own team of "experts" in different categories (food, style, kids, home, healthy living) and follow them for recommendations on their favorite items.  Then you visit their virtual shop and get discounts on the products.

Examples of experts vary -  it's a pretty wide wide range. Some really are experts; Bobby Flay(food), Project Nursery and Dwell (kids).

Others -- not so much. Unless you count Ali Fedotowsky from the Bachelor as a style expert.

I have assembled an interesting team; a few people I follow - Alicia Silverstone (healthy living), Joy Behar (kids), Gabrielle Bernstein (no idea, but she has really cute stuff in her shop) and Julie Morgenstern (home).

It's a fun way to feel like you are getting personal recommendations from celebs and a great way to find out about tons of very cool, cute and useful products!

And, I was just grabbing open sky's link to include and saw that they have a refer a friend program.  If you click on my "personal invitation" and buy something, you'll get a $10 credit and I'll get a credit too!  So if you are going to check it out, do it by clicking here please.

Thank you!
