I just logged into my account at Yodlee after years. They have a new version. Though they are now concentrating more on financial information and bill presentment and payment.
This space of consolidation requires a lot of work – parsers keep on breaking etc. – and I am not entirely sure whether its worth it.
Google on the other hand has more targeted approach, offering more or less static content here, Froogle for comparison shopping, google news for scraping other news sites – also available on personalized page and no offering for your own content on other sites / other mails / etc..

But i think you are right – the concepts are similar. Even Yahoo has taken ideas from others. Google had blogspot and now Yahoo also has its 360 degrees blog offering.
