Interesting, in the past I worked on a music discovery tool with a similar interface. I'm not sure this actually works in the app space though. I think what you're showing is apps similar to a starting point. But do I want more apps that are similar to the apps I already like? Or do I want a new app to do something that I don't already have a solution for? I suspect the latter is more important, possibly with the exception of games. Nice work on the interface though. I think you could find another use for it. Maybe by showing a people who have app x also have app y may be a better model to go with rather than app similarity.

What we try to do is show some similar apps that are close to the app you already like and enjoy, and show some apps that are a bit different. So, for example, starting from an XKCD comic app you can get to a Cyanide and Happiness or SMBC Comics app -- but you also can in a few clicks navigate to a 9gag or Reddit app. You're navigating along the web in a direction -- you can start looking at photo apps Pic Collage or at games, etc.
