Global usage of Twitter has doubled in the past year, according to new research from digital marketing intelligence specialist comScore.

The research shows that the social networking site attracted 93m internet users in June, up 109% on the previous year. Indonesia reported highest levels of usage for the month, with 20.8% of Indonesian internet users visiting Twitter.com that month, followed by Brazil and Venezuela.

Graham Mudd, comScore vice president, search & media, says: “Today nearly three out of four global internet users access social networking sites each month, making it one of the most ubiquitous activities across the web. As more users around the world have become acquainted with connecting and expressing themselves through social media, it has created an environment where new media like Twitter can emerge globally in a relatively short period of time.”
