Seems like Facebook doesn't turn on SPDY for all its CDNs yet. I only see SPDY turned on for sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net and photos-a.xx.fbcdn.net, which only serve a rather small portion of all the static assets. The lion share of its assets are mainly served through fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net, fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net and other *.akamaihd.net domains, which aren't SPDY-enabled currently.

Mainly because those come from Akamai. Facebook would likely be able to add SPDY to their own services, but it's up to Akamai to start doing something on their side.

Don't hold your breath.

Akamai did announce upcoming SPDY support late last year:
