Why would you close Twitter, Github and onther similar services? All the data there is already public, so moving somewhere else and make it public again won't change anything regarding privacy.
the point is not that its public - the $point seems to be that its too easy for a spy agency to directly access the data. yours and the data of many many many (ok everybody) others who use these services
Well I think the Point is that a self-made solution won't be directly parse able for the $NSA. As a minimum some type of scraping Spider would be needed that indexes the content. Then it would need classification.
If everybody were to do this then the job of automatically indexing social relationships wold be much harder.
A decent alternative for Google Analytics is Piwik. It's open source and can be self-hosted or you can pay for a SAAS version of it (though not sure if any exist outside of the US. The interface is not nearly as nice or powerful as the one offered by Google Analytics, but it's open and uses a simple SQL backend, so if you self-host it, it can basically do whatever you want it to do.
A good alternative to Dropbox is Bittorrent Sync and Dokku looks like an interesting way to do your own Heroku (https://github.com/progrium/dokku).
