Why register? #14

Isn't the purpose of having twitter login so that users won't have to register, but can just sign right in with twitter authentication upon their first visit? Maybe I am misunderstanding the purpose of the plugin. Thanks!

I needed to gather some additional data during registration. You can get around it by following directions here:

FYI, I don't maintain this gem/plugin anymore. You're probably better off following one of the better maintained forks like http://github.com/logankoester/authlogic_oauth
