It's called Mastodon. Chances are the last time you heard of it was because Lance Ulanoff couldn't find William Shatner and decided to bitch about it in Mashable instead of admitting his ignorance and asking more experienced users for help.

Now would be a great time to start a hosting service that makes it easy to set up personal instances of Mastodon, Pleroma, or Diaspora* and offers support and updates. Such a service would ideally be based in a country that is subject to EU data protection laws and has a habit of saying "Warrant or GTFO" when Uncle Sam wants users' data.
