We are constantly looking for third party services to add to OctopusCity.  We carefully consider the business of each vendor before inclusion to ensure the highest quality experience for our members.  Some of the vendors that have been selected include:

1. Hearme.com: Herme.com is a powerful and compelling video web conferencing tool with VOIP features.


2. Gift Reminder Service:  Through our birthday and anniversary reminder feature inside your OctopusCity, we have partnered with over 40 top-tier companies that offer a wide range of products and services.  Each of our vendor partners will occasionally offer specials, promotions and discounts that are made available to our members.  You can always shop at one of our vendor partners by clicking on the Gift Reminder button from your OctopusCity home page.


3. Meebo.com:  We found a fantastic chat service that allows you to chat with your buddies on all of the major chat networks (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk and more), all at the same time. You can even initiate your own Meebo chat room and invite your friends.


4. Aurictechnology.com:  Auric Technology has integrated its Sales Force Management and CRM system, Auric Prospector, with OctopusCity.  With this upgrade, you can begin sharing your contact, lead, opportunity and customer service information data with other members of your company.  This hosted, on-demand CRM system is powerful and yet very easy to use. Plus, you can continue using Octopus City, with added functionality, in conjunction with Auric Prospector. (Please see the section "Auric Prospector" under "Octopus City For Your Company" for more information.)
   
5. Freeconference.com: Freeconference.com allows you to schedule and hold teleconference calls for free.  All you and the call participants pay is the normal call charges for a call to Iowa.
