I'd say it is app.net but not in the hands of one company but instead there is a protocol and everyone can implement their own server and apps and run it on their own. In the end it would be like with email that you would have 5-10 big hosters like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, some regional hosters like web.de, gmx and people who host their own servers like me. The thing is, the whole Tent thing is not really ready for other people then curious developers. The protocol spec is in the making, most of the apps are broken after the upgrade of the protocol from version 0.2 to 0.3 a couple of days ago and need to be fixed, etc. It will at least take a couple of month until it is usable. It is not a good thing that cupcake (one of the hosters) are getting new users because of this post because those users will be disappointed.
