[edit] History
Dogpile began operation in November 1996. The site was developed by Aaron Flin and later sold to Go2net (which was in turn acquired by Infospace).
The Dogpile search engine earned the J.D. Power and Associates award for best Residential Online Search Engine Service in both 2006[1] and 2007.[2]
In 2008, Dogpile started a campaign to use proceeds from site traffic to raise US$1 million for animals in need.[3]
