The Box Usage Statistics block is now added as a new feature to track the usage of the Boxes more accurately.
Previously, Popular Boxes block displays the number of visits to the Box page for each Box. For eg, when a user visits TBP 72 here, the view counter will be incremented by one. But this inaccurately reflects how often this Box is being used. This is because when a user uses the Box API on his own html page, he is not making a visit to the Box page. Instead, he will be just linking to the Javascript file for that Box. Thus, TBP will not be able to capture that usage.
Now, a new feature has been added to capture that usage. Whenever the Javascript file for that Box is loaded on another user's html page, and he does not visit the Box's page on TBP web site at all, a usage counter for the Box will be incremented by one. This is a separate counter from the view counter.
Since this is newly added, all Boxes' usage counter are set at 0 as of today.
