InfoSpace Partners With blinkx to Offer Video Search Functionality on Award-Winning Dogpile.com

Users Can Now Search More Than 12 Million Hours of TV and Video Clips

BELLEVUE, Washington, June 25/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InfoSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSP), a leading developer of proprietary
metasearch technologies, today formally announced a partnership with blinkx,
the world's largest video search engine, to offer video search capabilities
for InfoSpace's family of metasearch brands including Dogpile.com, the
award-winning search engine which returns top results from Google, Yahoo!,
Windows Live and Ask.com to provide users with the most relevant and useful
information. As consumer demand for online video content continues to grow,
the partnership allows InfoSpace to offer users the same breadth and
relevancy of video search results as it does with text-based Web search
results.

"Video search has become increasingly popular among today's Web searchers
and this addition allows us to offer Dogpile users a more visual and
interactive search experience," said Brian McManus, executive vice president
of the online business unit at InfoSpace. "blinkx is a leader in the video
search space and we chose them to power our offering because of their
extensive video content library and advanced video search technology. blinkx
also provides results from a variety of video aggregators such as Brightcove,
which makes this partnership a great fit for Dogpile, as the leading
metasearch site in the U.S."

In addition to this newly added video search capability, InfoSpace
recently unveiled a revamped Dogpile.com site with a refreshed look and feel,
enhanced usability and an improved metasearch algorithm. Based on the
principle that no single search engine can deliver the most relevant results
100% of the time, Dogpile.com combines results from multiple engines to bring
together the highest ranked results in one place. As a testament to the
quality of the site, in 2006, Dogpile.com received the prestigious J.D. Power
and Associates award, ranking it 'Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among
Internet Users with Primary Search Engines/Functions' in the U.S.A.(i)

"InfoSpace has a well-established and trusted family of metasearch
products, and we're delighted to provide video search capabilities to their
millions of users worldwide," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO,
blinkx. "This partnership continues to build upon the momentum for our
patented conceptual search technology and further demonstrates our leadership
in the online video arena."

As a pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as
the most intuitive way to search new forms of online content such as video.
With more than 100 partners and twelve million hours of indexed video and
audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short
documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced
speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and
reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches. In addition to
Dogpile.com, video content from blinkx is now available on InfoSpace's
WebFetch, WebFetchPro, and WebCrawler sites.
