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.




*connected with the right type of users at the right time


The college-only thing was huge.


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.
