Growth in BOINC has been severely limited by the lack of large scale outreach or advertising. Why not encourage projects to post more updates by including their twitter (or facebook) feed on the project page? Or show or find a way to score social media posts by individuals or teams. This might be too easy to game, but it would introduce another way people here could compete while benefiting research.

Some cryptocurrency sites provide social media feeds for altcoins and some even factor social media activity into rankings (along with market cap and other variables).
