There seems to be an imminent blur (and ultimate consoldation) between these photo sites, moblog-related sites (textamerica, yafro), pure social networking sites (friendster, myspace, orkut), photo hosting/sharing sites (ofoto, shutterfly, yahoo briefcase), and photo editors/blog hosting (picasa 2 / blogspot). It's a large enough market and each site will create their own niche w/ their own community. Money will be generated through subscription or ads...but it will be interesting to see who ultimately wins (i.e. largest mkt share) in the space. My guess is Google.
