for a given search concept most services i have seen issue a server response that tends to present at the screen a rather static state ~ since this whole belvedere.greendroid.codebase centers on ui intrinsic / extrinsic then so far nothing new ......

reading at Pushing Pixels i discovered that at least one ui.engineer has considered re-thinking how a list runs in the ui

seems to me some rand() selection from a larger list with weighting could be a concept to place "driver-hooks" in base interfaces extending what I expect to find in the Android JDK for user-view "List Controls"

given a list size larger than what will look well in the screen could have a "feed" that does a select on a rand() thus bringing in choices to the user that may not be as popular but may be very needful to a serious user where the available information exceeds what can be considered at any singular moment ~ avoiding over-drive by making some portion of the selection set from (?) with the remaining done on a rand() .... with dampening to avoid "spinning the user rather than spinning the list"

we could attain presentation of material that may be of interest to busy persons as an interface extending a proven and known list.control.interface provides an immediate testing and conceptional basis for codebase development that does not break anything

constraint against over-eager re-write (s) would be readily available in the effective critical path control tool that github already has working
