One of the more controversial changes: Facebook is expected to announce that it will start providing users' personal information to some select third-party Web sites.
Sites could use that information to display what a user's Facebook friends have read on that site. Users could also share more between their social network and the outside Web.
Critics have already expressed concern about the privacy implications of such a service. A similar program called Beacon, unveiled in 2007, caused such a stir among users that the company canned it last year.

Recently I've heard nothing but bad things about it. Don't want the world to know my every move. But that's just me.
