name	string	false	This is a name to identify the specific feature instance that you are using in your template code. This is useful if you have multiple instances of the same feature on the same page. Note: By default, the SML will look for a nick name of "default" if you do not specify one in the tag definition.

twitter_feed.username	string	Returns the Twitter user's account name.
twitter_feed.fullname	string	Returns the Twitter user's full name.
