Internetting from the right-side of the brain: Yodlee

A long time ago, in a money management crisis far far away…

I switched from a credit union (whose https site was powered by Washington Mutual anyway) to the monolithic US Bank for my everyday banking needs. Why? Easy, US Bank updates its information every minute. That means: I get up from the computer to purchase a coffee, I sit back down and check my balance, it says “purchase of coffee pending $1.25″ nice, eh?

Tonight I took the next step and consolidated my accounts into one account to rule them all. Yes, that’s right — sky miles, email (even!), bank, stocks, savings, checking, credit cards, student loans, paypal and the like — all from one site. My brother had this very same great idea a few months ago, but someone beat him to it. Yodlee, I say tonight, “thanks” for your money center, and goodnight.
