The question should be why is Facebook the one to make it big.
Among many other things, IMO, they connected with the right type of investors at the right time.

Love him or hate him Zuck was also a big reason behind Facebook's success.

Sean Parker is a huge reason too. Then Sheryl Sanberg during their crazy growth and maturity period. Many others are very important too, but I think these three have been the most important to FB's success.
