The social network will pull information about the websites a person visits, the news stories he or she likes and the music or athletes the person favors -- and share all of that information with a person's Facebook friends.

Facebook is changing users' profile pages so that the "pages" section will no longer appear in a separate section on the bottom of the "info" page. Those pages will be brought up to the "interests" section. Users will be asked to convert their interests into fan pages: Is one of your interests "The Beatles?" Well, now you're a fan of The Beatles. By default, users will receive notifications from their fan pages in their news feed. Doesn't sound like such a big deal, but here's the kicker: Users who choose to convert their interests to "pages" will lose privacy control with the new changes. Many parts of users' profiles, including hometowns, birthdays, education, religion and work interests would be considered "connections" if a user converts them, making them public to anyone.

Content will only be shared to Facebook if you take a specific action, such as clicking the "Like" button on an external website.
