Its like one really painful shot that will have long term positive results –*fingers crossed*

They also have Hot Apps page which shows the apps with the biggest movement in position.

There maybe a side effect. Apps will start adding notifications to their apps to get their DAUs up.

I blogged about it here http://blog.buzzbox.com/2011/04/android-market-may-rank-app-stickiness.html and what app developers should think about when adding notifications.

Not cool, is there a way to opt-out? It’s my phone, but yet they get to control it more than I do.

Lucian, for a hot recommendation ranking try appsfire for android. we created that index

It should make it easy for people to discover new good apps, and it would greatly help developers with new apps out as well.
