Dogpile Search Engine Changes Name to Avoid Stink

Dogpile Search Engine Changes Name to Avoid Stink Dogpile Search Engine Changes Name to Avoid Stink Dogpile has changed its name to WebFetch in the UK and Europe to differentiate itself from the image of doggie doo, which the name Dogpile conjures up in the heads of more British and Europeans than it does in the US. PC Pro reports that Infospace has admitted as much saying that “The new name has wider international comprehension, while maintaining a strong association with its ever-popular cult dog mascot - Arfie.” In the US, no matter what your image is of a dog’s pile, the DogPile name will stick to the meta search engine and useful search toolbar.
