Hi! Thanks for your bug report. As you may be aware, the upcoming
release of Ubuntu 11.10 will feature a redesigned software-center. The
bug you describe is no longer present in recent development versions of
software-center as we no longer display recommendations, so I'll close
this bug report. Please continue to report any bugs you may find. Thanks
again for your help!

Title:
  Software Center's "new" recommendations do not change

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  ## Issue

  - Software center's "New recommendations" not changing, despite having
  been looked at

  - Old recommendations marked as "New" and are not providing value

  ## Environment

  - Natty 11.04

  - Software Center

  ---

  I have been getting the same 3 recommendations for weeks now.  I even
  tried one of them out via Software Center and subsequently uninstalled
  it because it wasn't very interesting for me.

  I would expect Software Center to keep track of recommended items that
  had been installed and then remove it from the recommendation list.

  Ideally, I can remove items from the list with a little "x" next to it
  or similar, and it would add something else to the list that might be
  interesting instead.
