Unique visitors to the web site seems like a dubious way to count users when you're talking about two services that often, if not primarily, used via mobile and/or API clients.
That being said, those comScore numbers do not reflect Twitter's traffic either in trend or magnitude. I'm not sure about Jaiku.
So, the first part of your headline is accurate -- kudos to them -- the second is questionable.
