Companies that have great visions and leave behind a “positivity trail” are those companies I like associating with best.

My Top Follow Friday could not fit this more! Their vision states,

“Buying from people you know and trust is the best way to shop.”

They believe in, “reinventing the Social Commerce landscape by introducing Relationship/Brand Advocate Commerce.” Welcome @OpenSkyProject – my Top Follow Friday today!

3 Top Reasons to Follow Them:

1. They are truly “Social.” They connect sellers & suppliers to buyers, and are passionate about creating opportunities for entrepreneurs.
2. If you are a Blogger, they have your best interest in mind. They provide a platform to those who want to build their brand and consolidate their fan base. If you choose to have an OpenSky Store with them, you will own 100% of it. You have complete control over the products sold and how you choose to sell them. OpenSky says, “Sellers don’t need to hold inventory, source products, or handle customer service.  OpenSky is building an enormous product directory of sourced suppliers that sellers can choose from in any category.  Sellers can also request special products, and OpenSky will source them for you (and if you have a relationship with a particular supplier–just let us know and we will set them up in our system).  We also have a buyer program for certain sellers to work with in specific categories.”
3. They “get-it-done.” OpenSky hasn’t even officially launched yet, but they have already managed to get on ABC’s Good Morning America!

There are 2 other “Key“ people to follow along with @OpenSkyProject: @TedRubin & @johncaplan.

Ted believes, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass… it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Ted is the Chief Social Marketing Officer & Board of Advisors at OpenSky. I have had the pleasure of speaking with him on the phone and networking with him over the past couple of months. I believe in the passion Ted brings to the table. (He is also highly interactive in the Social Space!)

John is the Founder & CEO at OpenSky. He states (via Twitter) that he is a, “lucky dad & husband. company builder – about.com, ford models & now the opensky project. believe that anything is possible.”

#itscoming #OpenSky @OpenSkyProject

If you know me personally, you know that my most favorite quote is,

“My Three Keys to Success: One, work hard. Two, be your own person. And three, have a passion for what you are doing.”

(Warning: Shameless Plug here!) It should come as no surprise, then, as to why the @OpenSkyProject is my Top Follow Friday today! It should also come as no surprise why I am choosing to utilize the OpenSky Store. My OpenSky Store will be available (at first) through my Blog, “Confessions, Truths & the Journey of a (Mis) Fortunate Fitness-Foodie Junkie.” Shortly thereafter (or perhaps even on launch date) it will move to my brand new Health/Fitness/Foodie & Vibrant Website (coming soon)!

You will notice on the right side of this page an #itscoming countdown! August 10, 2010 is when the OpenSky officially launches! Learn more about them by following on Twitter, checking out their Website and becoming a Fan on Facebook!
