Abstract
An example system includes a similarity module, a selection module, and a messaging module. The similarity module may receive a first set of application identifiers identifying applications downloaded or installed on at least one digital device, compare the first set of application identifiers to a second set of application identifiers identifying applications of at least one other user, generate a similarity value based on the comparison, and when the similarity value exceeds a similarity threshold, determine that the first and second sets are sufficiently similar. If the first and second sets are sufficiently similar, the selection module may determine at least one application identifier in the second set that is not in the first set. The messaging module may provide a recommendation to the first user, the recommendation including the at least one application identifier in the second set that is not in the first set.
