In a blog post Sunday, Facebook said its changes were intended to make it "even easier for you to tell your story and learn about your friends."
The new profile design highlights members' relationships, schools, employers, along with other bits of personal information. And it displays a member's content in a more visual format.
Instead of listing biographical information under the profile picture on the left, the new design places the information at the top of the page. A row of recently tagged photographs will appear below a brief bio.
Facebook also gives members the option of highlighting specific categories of Facebook friends, such as family members, best friends, teammates, work friends. And it makes it easier to view the history of a Facebook friendship.
