As I seen that, many newbie or even most experienced internet users create a email account and then use it to create all social media sites accounts, like Facebook Account, Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon etc.

But according to security reasons, that is very costly for you sometime. Because if anyhow your email account hacked by someone, then your all social accounts also hacked.
