Security watchers have warned that Facebook's latest revamp will create the tendency to expose more user information.

The redesigned profile, launched earlier this week and due to be rolled out gradually over coming weeks, is designed to encourage punters to expose even more information about their day to day lives to the dominant social networking site, net security firm Sophos cautions.

For example, the About Profile page encourages users to share experiences, discover common interests, and to highlight meaningful relationships. The move will have the effect of highlighting the closest relationships and keenest interest a user might have. Previously this information would have probably been on a list, but not highlighted as especially important.
