Backend stuff - node package.json, bare express server
Backend API lives!

Started off with a very explicit API then moved to a more parameterized one
README.md - just stated some functionality in there
backend/config.json - sample configurations including facebook, xbox support
backend/package.json - added dependencies (namely on memcache)
backend/statuschecker.js - added... well, everything. Supports calling arbitrary json/html webservices and extracts status messages from responses. Obviously easier in JSON but still do-able (see xbox_core) in HTML. Will standardize output and return a predictable object with status, details, last_checked.
Couple more details into the readme
Added underscore, and multi-status support, and changed the API a little
