What you are looking at is what we lovingly call the AppWall. The AppWall is a visual representation of a ton of data that we collect behind the scenes.
Essentially the icons represent App Catalog, Homebrew, Web, and Beta apps that have either been downloaded recently (tracked through Metrix), tweeted about, or made a "spotlight" by someone on this site. We take all of this data and grab a few hundred of them at random and create the AppWall.
Why are there so many duplicates?
The more popular an app is (i.e. more downloads, tweets, spotlights), the more often it will appear on the wall. This gives you a visual cue as to what is hot right now.
How often is the AppWall constructed?
We build the wall once an hour, but since it is constructed by randomly selecting apps, it will appear new every time you visit the site
