Username

Username was originally inspired by the userrecon shell script. I saw much potential and felt it can do much more if written in python. This is just the beginning of a detailed project.

Currently right now it simply tells you if a username exists and where it exists. With the exception of finding a username on Facebook. Then it will tell you the persons name as well by using web scraping.
