Jonas,
Still think it would work well for games / social apps, but for
productivity apps it can actually be the opposite of what's intended.
Consider two productivity apps, one of which helps get the same work
done in half the time. Which one of them deserves a ratings boost?

Right, but how do you come up with alternative applications, given the
variety of apps?[...]
Yeah, it's hardly trivial, but hey, this is Google - if anyone can
find relations in statistics, it's them...
Also, for Google (Ad-based income) time on screen should be a very
important factor. Hmm, there's another interesting thought: with AdMob
being part of Google it would be easy to include shown ads in the
popularity equation too - hardly fair, though.
Like your idea for showing apps that haven't been used for a while. It's
like IRL - if you find something you haven't needed for a few years, you
can throw it away ;)
Good to agree ;-). Time to lobby for a new feature...
