Abstract
An embodiment of the invention includes a method for searching for mobile assets (e.g., mobile telephone applications and/or web applications) based on popularity. The popularities of the mobile assets are determined by monitoring usage of the assets, e.g., downloading of assets and/or launching of assets. Popularities of the mobile assets are also determined by gathering and analyzing user feedback of the assets, e.g., user tags and/or user quality ratings. Search queries for assets are also monitored to determine asset popularity. A search query for a requested asset is received from a requesting mobile device. Results of the search query are weighed with the popularities of the assets; and, the results of the search query are sent to the requesting mobile device. The results of the search query are also sent to an interface. A repository of assets are created based on the popularities of the assets.
