Private "cloud" services seem to be very much part of the zeitgeist. http://freedomboxfoundation.org/ http://freedomboxfoundation.org/ is probably the most well known, with Justin Frankel's WASTE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASTE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASTE) being one of the earliest. I researched the technical challenges of making these kinds of systems practical and wrote some findings at http://carcaddar.blogspot.ca/search/label/ClearSky http://carcaddar.blogspot.ca/search/label/ClearSky
For everything to work as well as Facebook does today in a fully decentralized manner, there still needs to be a lot of research done in zero-knowledge password proofs and shared public key systems. The most relevant work I've found in those particular fields is http://ai.stanford.edu/~xb/pkc09/index.html http://ai.stanford.edu/~xb/pkc09/index.html
