I always find these differences in site usages between the US and the Netherlands pretty amusing. For example, in the Netherlands, it's almost unheard of to use a search engine other than Google. Similarly, we Dutchmen almost exclusively use msn for chatting, and use either hotmail.com or gmail.com mail/msn accounts. I've got exactly one contact on msn using a @yahoo.com account, and he's from the US
We've also got our own networking site, hyves.nl, which is much more famous here than facebook, most friends of mine not even having a facebook account, while having an active hyves page. (and from what I know about facebook, hyves is also much more user-friendly than facebook, and has much better privacy options)

Wonder where these differences come from
