Update to popularity score algorithm
Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 11:17 pm
I have updated the algorithm for calculating the popularity score, which will now take the sum of activity score over the past 30 days for each app (instead of over its entire lifetime).
The impact will only be seen after 30 days, because the current score is used as the baseline for "day 1". This means that after 30 days, the baseline will be dropped and we will see the full impact of this change.
Expect to see some shakeup in the "Popular titles" listing, which will hopefully reflect the popularity of apps in a more dynamic manner.
