    iChat is bundled into OS X. You can use iChat with an AIM account as well, so if you have one of those then you can just do that.

    .Mac is a web service hosted by Apple. You get 10 GB of storage space, a hosted .Mac webpage, new features like .Mac Web Gallery, an email account that you can use with Apple Mail and iChat, etc. It costs $100 US per year, but you can get it cheaper through eBay.

    You can read more about it, and you can try it out for 60 days.
