Hi Pinal,
First, Congratulation !!!. And about these two boxes, I think bottom one is containing all your readers or followers of
and the top one is containing friends who like your page on facebook and twitter.
Now you want to increase your friends on facebook and twitter and in future you want to replace the top box [smaller] with another big big box.
I hope my guess works. :-)
