Ok, I'm not sure you've noticed the past few years of Intertubing, but Google has the second most coveted authentication token on the net. I'm not sure what a techmeme.com is, but I definitely know that Wikipedia has logins, and admin logins, and like 3 levels of authentication above that.

I guess is any app of value will eventually need authentication. Otherwise why are you using rails? Apache + fast CMS would probably be better ;)
