Facebook is a social networking utility that you can use to stay in touch with family, friends and acquaintances. If you want to close your Facebook account and open a new one, Facebook doesn't have a way for you to transfer your friends from one account to another. What you can do is download your account information to your Desktop and then use that information to repopulate your friends list on your new account.
