Those sites filled a present need when they launched. They didn't launch first and then try to create their own need after.

I would think that it is a lot harder now to come up with original ideas and needs to fill. Dating, Classifieds, market places like Ebay, etc... all of the big things have been done and needs have been filled. Its like we need to wait for a new problem to pop up now to give us the opportunity to try to create a new innovative fix for it.
