Business Wire
InfoSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSP), a leading developer of metasearch
products, today announced the launch of DoGreatGood.com, a new
search engine that allows users to support their favorite
charitable causes while they search the Web. An expansion of
Dogpile�s Search & Rescue program, InfoSpace created Do Great
Good to increase the number of causes and charities that Internet
users can help at no cost to them.
Like all InfoSpace search engines, Do Great Good is powered by
metasearch technology which simultaneously combines and returns the
best results from Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Ask, giving users
access to a list of results more complete than anywhere else on the
Web. Do Great Good also provides users with aggregated image,
video, and news results. When users search on Do Great Good,
http://www.dogreatgood.com, half of the net revenue generated on
the Do Great Good Web site is donated by InfoSpace to various
charities.
�Our goal with Do Great Good is to offer Internet users the best
search experience through our metasearch technology while they
support charities at the same time,� said John Rodkin, InfoSpace
general manager of search. �Many people would like to donate to
charities and nonprofits, but the tough economic hardships facing
our country today make it difficult. Do Great Good users make a
positive difference in others� lives without having to open their
wallets - simply by searching the Web.�
So far, Do Great Good and its users have raised and donated over
$50,000 to charities that include the Petfinder.com Foundation,
Animal Charities of America, the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and sixteen other
charities for pets in need. While early donations have benefited
animal-related charities, the program will expand to include other
charitable causes, including charities focused on health services,
education, and the environment.
InfoSpace has a history of charitable giving through its
flagship search engine, Dogpile. In December 2007, Dogpile raised
$25,000 for The Humane Society of the United States. In November
2008, the Search & Rescue program was launched on Dogpile and,
by the year�s end, Dogpile users had raised $200,000 in donations
for pet charities. Do Great Good expands the passion InfoSpace and
its users have for animal-related causes to new nonprofit
organizations and charities seeking positive change.
