Claim:
1. A method for implementing computer activity-based challenges, comprising: a) posting a computer activity-based challenge by a computer system to a computer-implemented social network associated with a user of the computer system; b) receiving a notification from the social network by the computer system indicating acceptance of the challenge for each subscriber of the social network who accepts the challenge; and updating a worth of the challenge with the computer system using dynamic scoring, wherein the worth of the challenge is the award granted to a subscriber upon completion of the challenge, wherein the dynamic scoring dynamically ties the worth of the challenge to a difficulty of the challenge according to results from subscribers who accept the challenge, wherein updating the worth includes increasing the worth of the challenge if the results reflect increased difficulty and decreasing the worth of the challenge if the results reflect decreased difficulty, wherein the difficulty is determined by analyzing the ratio of the number of subscribers who complete a challenge to the number of subscribers who accept a challenge, and wherein the worth of the challenge is updated after each subscriber result.
