A new Comscore study of social networking in The Netherlands shows the country to have a unique place in the online world.

For a start it ranks number one around the globe for use of Twitter and Linkedin – each of the two sites attracts more than one in four Dutch Internet users during the course of the month.

What’s curious about this dual position is that while the top ten countries for Linkedin penetration are either English-speaking or in Western Europe, the top countries for Twitter are much more diverse – after The Netherlands come Japan, Brazil, Indonesia and Venezuela.
