Suggestion.
An assignment I think that would be cool and interesting for this course is to have us do something with the Facebook website. I think it would be fun for us to have maybe an ongoing survey or some type of crowd based assignment specifically relating to The Facebook. Even though the course is called Facebook Culture: New Media, Surveillance and Democracy and we really did not base a lot of the class around Facebook, I therefore think that this assignment would be totally relevant for this course. I really did not find many things that I would change or even suggest for this class, but the only thing that I might do with the readings is I would maybe try to find a book that contradicts or argues with the text iSpy. I think that it would be interesting to see an opposing side to iSpy to get the readers really thinking.

I think that your idea for using Facebook more is great, since the class is titled Facebook Culture. I've gotten several requests on Facebook to join groups that are doing some type of crowd based experiment and have always wondered about the results from these groups.
I was also surprised that we did not study Facebook more in-depth this semester. I think we could have used it a little bit more and even studied whether or not this is a good thing for our society. Great suggestion
I was wondering why we haven't done much with the facebook website either. To be honest, I thought I was going to learn some new tips, but I guess not. The class simply compares facebook with the idea of surveillence. In some cases, this is good stuff to know.
