EA Speedhunters

Speedhunters.com is a car culture blog site from the creators of the Electronic Arts (EA) Need for Speed video game team. The site includes automotive writers, photographers, and drivers from across the globe that bring visitors a daily dose of car features, Internet stories, HD short films, event galleries, and automotive diatribes.

The Speedhunters team was looking for a proven social computing platform with scalable blogs and forums that would help build and connect the new gaming site to a community of car enthusiasts. Speedhunters.com was built with an enterprise-grade blogging engine, robust discussion forums, and a Centralized File System. As a bonus, the integrated videos can be viewed in either SD or HD or saved in 720p.

To meet the unique media needs of Speedhunters.com, the team at Telligent built a custom module to auto-generate thumbnails of images in blog posts and custom membership controls to integrate with the EA Profile System. The project was also completed on a very aggressive time schedule.

Telligent provided the Community Server license, developed custom code, and provided consulting for the implementation and deployment. The team at Speedhunters.com designed and customized the site.
