FriendFeed, which we reported on the existence of last year and which was eventually opened to everyone. But then FriendFeed moved all of the changes there over to the regular site and closed the beta area. But now it's back in operation internally, being used to test a new user interface for FriendFeed, co-founder Paul Buchheit confirmed to me.
Tonight, VentureBeat's Eric Eldon is down at FriendFeed's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., to get a sneak peek of the new UI. It will roll out on Monday, we're told.
FriendFeed is one of the services whose name gets thrown around as inspiration for Facebook's recent redesign. Clearly, some of the features of the new Facebook -- such as the way lists are displayed on the left hand side and the "likes" functionality -- seem to be inspired by FriendFeed. Now it looks like FriendFeed is the one ready to evolve.
