How To Create Social Network Website?

Is there any way to create a website account without giving any email linked to it? I'm working on a social network with no signup by Twitter, FB, LinkedIn, etc.

• I want to create a social network where privacy is mandatory and i don't want their email. So if there is a problem like they forget the password, they will have to create a new account. The info inside is not important, only the user experience is, so if they create a new account it will be really easy to have a good user experience afterwards again, regardless their previous activity.

• Answer:

  Interesting idea given the increasing risk of data breach these days. However, most users have very much thrown any caution regarding their personal data to the wind. The fact that pretty much any important data is now held on someone else's sever that you have no direct access to (e.g. your money at your bank, your call detail records with your mobile provider) makes me wonder how in-demand such a feature would be in a social network. In fact the whole notion of a social network requires some sort of pervasive identity that other people can link to. Play this scenario. User builds a network of 1,000 friends over a period of time. User forgets password. User sets up a new account. Do they have to go and build out that network again? That's a pretty big disincentive to every using the service again. Not the greatest user experience. Another scenario for you. User creates an account. Password is an easy one. Account is compromised. How does the end-user get to reset their password?
