I wouldn't say Facebook and Twitter are competitors. Their models are quite different.

- Facebook's complex privacy vs Twitter's binary "public or private"

- Facebook's real names vs Twitter's @usernames

- Facebook's freeform posting length vs Twitter's 140 character limit

They store their code using the Git version-control software, not on Github as you seem to be thinking.

git is not a website...
