Food.com, the Internet’s food and dining destination, and Yodlee.com, pioneer and leader of personal account aggregation on the Internet, today announced a content partnership to provide Food.com services to Yodlee users. Under the terms of the agreement, Food.com will be listed as an option on Yodlee-powered services, enabling users to easily review and place orders from Food.com directly from any Yodlee-powered personal web page or mobile device. With Yodlee, users have single click access to all their personal accounts — including email, travel, shopping, banks, stocks, and more — in one central place, allowing them to conveniently and securely access their favorite sites, like Food.com.
Yodlee’s aggregation technology consolidates user account information in one secure place, enabling consumers to manage their web-based accounts efficiently. With auto-registration and auto-login features, Yodlee users can access each service in one click, without having to reenter their passwords or personal information each time. This will enable consumers to go directly to their “My Food.com” page where they can view past food orders or their favorite menus for quick and easy ordering. Yodlee-powered services are available to users for free at Yodlee.com and on co-branded services at AltaVista, Quicken.com, Freeinternet.com, and soon on AOL and Chase.com.
