Strange to read this from an "appstore marketing expert". Anyone keeping a close eye on the new releases list knows that most (90%) of the updates don't really contain anything new and useful, their only purpose is to get the bump in sales and ranking.
This is bad for users as they have a hard time finding new and interesting stuff, and bad for developers as it is almost impossible to introduce a new app to the store. For example my last app (Symbolic Calculator) started on the third page of the release list because "developers are actively involved in their products". I am not complaining as eventually it got into category top100, but it must suck when someone has a really polished app which isn't getting much hits by search, but would get into top100 if it had a few days on the new releases list.
But I agree, a "newly updated" list wouldn't go amiss.
