If you edit a profile, you can see new format tools in short bio cell,
tools for bold, italic, underline, un/ordered list and link...

Also on a bottom of profile page was added little google logo pointing to google.com...

And i am not sure, but i think that a upper text "The more information you provide, the easier it will be for friends to find you." weren't there too

It took me a while to find out which Google service you are talking about. First I looked at Google Account, Google Docs, Blogger and orkut. Then I found out you are talking about Google's Knol!

OK, reminds me of Google's Knol profile very much:

http://knol.google.com/k/tomi-hs/-/1zija0uf0o3z8/0#

which seems to redirect to the same profile as Google Maps profile when I try to edit either profile (replace "tomi-hs/-/1zija0uf0o3z8/0" with your own characters).

It's a recent change. Knol originally launched with a separate profile page which was itself a knol. Now they link to your Google Accounts profile instead. It's a backward step in my opinion.
