Hi Justin

With regards to OAuth and how it can be mixed with typical user accounts, I 
generally opt for the combination of devise and omniauth. There's a pair of 
Railscasts/ASCIIcasts that cover this quite well:

http://railscasts.com/episodes/235-omniauth-part-1
http://railscasts.com/episodes/236-omniauth-part-2

I personally opt for the ascii-versions:
http://asciicasts.com/episodes/235-omniauth-part-1
http://asciicasts.com/episodes/236-omniauth-part-2

I recommend reading/watching through both completely before getting too carried 
away with implementing it.

Cheers
