Creating a Facebook app is as easy as creating any other website. It might be a little bit interesting to people interested in social interactions, media, etc but it is extremely boring from a CS perspective. I would like it if NUS had a course and official teams participating in the Netflix Prize (http://www.netflixprize.com/). Some good CS schools in the US already offer such courses.
