If you think about it Myspace has been up since 2003/2004, which is easy to account for it\'s millions of accounts. Virb was in development the latter of last year, and went public earlier this year. It took myspace a couple of years to hit over a million people, just when it started to get popular. If you researched why Virb doesn\'t support every flash/embed file ever, you\'d understand. It\'s for security reasons due to the fact that malicious attempts can occur from flash files; Which is why they have an approved list of services--The fact that they care about security is light years ahead of myspace.
