If you're wondering why Andreessen Horowitz felt github was worth the 100M dollar investment, look no further than India and China. These massive populations are yet to be tapped for the most part leaving a great opportunity for future growth. For a company that has been profitable from the get-go, things are only going to get a lot better in the long run.
Awesome job on the visualization btw.

When it comes to online services, China has a tendency to adopt their own versions of services started elsewhere. For example, Google is dying hard in China [1]. The players in the social media scene are similarly unfamiliar to users outside of China, with Weibo leading (I'm lacking citation here). If Github sees China as an opportunity, they'd better move quick, and look very deeply at what has allowed services like Baidu and Weibo to trounce American-born competitors in their market. http://www.techinasia.com/china-baidu-qihoo-google-search-market-share-war/ http://www.techinasia.com/china-baidu-qihoo-google-search-ma...
