First, a little discussion of what Ed's Empire Avenue Module does. Empire Avenue's current API doesn't allow you to look up information by Twitter handle, only by Empire Avenue ID. Ed discovered that you could use the site to do it, so he used Kynetx to essentially do a little screen scaping to get the data and return

Lately we've realized that many of the native integrations of external APIs we've done could--and should--be done by developers working in KRL. If only they had a way to encapsulate and share them! Now
