I would say you need:
1 Web Server that can get through firewall easily
2 DynDNS, with your personal URL
3 Complete Data freedom
3.1 Something like a personal data store, can be RDF, OData, GData,
Couch, Mungo, any global interchangeable format
3.2 Ability to update your data store
3.3 Ability to share your data via access control, and notifications
Some minimal front end or set of scripts to view your updates, and get
notifications etc. It could look like GNU Social, or Facebook or
simply a command line text version to start with
What do you gain?
- Complete data freedom, share what you want, when you want, how you
want -- to date I dont think anyone offers this
- Privacy, no man in the middle storing your updates
- Control, ability to read the code, modify it, improve it, and share
with everyone else using the system
