Social Networking Site for Product Enthusiasts

Architected, designed and led development of a “macro-site” for Mercury Interactive (now owned by HP) to solicit feedback from their top beta testers and advocates, dubbed “Mercury Mavens.”

  • Personal profiles for a select group of “Mercury Mavens” – folks who would beta test new versions of Mercury software and provide feedback
  • The maven’s participation was purely voluntary, so the system needed to be fun, easy, give them a way to “show off” their smarts and connect with each other
  • Interface design focused on the ability to get in and out quickly
  • Profiles showcased individual’s credentials, associations
  • Easy searches and browses
  • Bulletin board for sharing events, job notices, feedback and feature requests
  • Simple workflow gives Mavens easy way to submit their feedback and feature requests and for Mercury product reps to route it directly to R&D
  • Integration with LDAP allws Mercury users to log in using their work station credentials

  • Client: Mercury (Automated Testing Software) - 2005-2005
  • Development with OpenVein
