What makes GitHub easy to compete with is that you don't require users to be an effective service. A new service can be of value to your company even if you're the only user. This is a stark contrast to all social sites, games, resume services, code competition sites, etc.

Sure, you still need to sell the product, but you don't have to worry about having too few users to just be usable.
