With the new profile layout, there is a pressure to share more information, said Platz. According to Facebook, the type of information that you would generally share upon meeting someone the first time.

"Facebook is trying to encourage you to make more of your information public, even if it's just on your own profile," said Platz. "I know personally I already saw three messages from Facebook that suggested I update my information to add to the experience."

Facebook is keeping its education and work area as a mini-LinkedIn profile, said Platz. You can now add projects and experience under your titles and degrees. You can also now tag someone to your job as well.

"I can see this perhaps becoming an issue if people don't necessarily want to be linked to projects etc and aren't given that choice."
