I'm very happy to see a tool like this that can be self-hosted. Back around 2010 there was a company called Topsy[0] who was supposed to be the "Google of Social Media". It would index Twitter tweets and Google+ posts. The idea was you could read discussions over the years and find trends that could be used for research, analytics or marketing. Sadly, it was bought up by Apple who shut it down a year or so later. There is still a giant hole left around search for Social Media, with each of them being their own walled garden.
