But they've lost everyone but the photographers to facebook.

The combination of the news feed and tagging people in photos (and having them show up in the news feed!) is facebooks secret sauce

Flickr occupies a weird space between photo.net (which is almost all photographers) and Facebook (people who take photos of each other). It may be great for photo-hosting, but no-one wants that in a vaccuum.
