I have been trying to come up with a design for a Open Social Network. Something you can host yourself or use from a "trusted" third party with the ability to seamlessly connect with each other.
The idea is:
1) You take your data where you want
2) You control you privacy
3) Seamless integration with different installation running all around the world.
4) Open Source (So it can be peer reviewed)
5) Tools for migrating from facebook and other Social Networks
6) Dead simple and user friendly UI. Built for people who can not differentiate between facebook and readwriteweb
