Ones that support open standards are best. My suggestions:
* Any IM server supporting the XMPP instant messaging standard
(such as Google Talk, LiveJournal Talk, jabber.org, etc.).
There's really no reason or excuse to keeping Yahoo IM, MSN
Messenger, AIM and ICQ around now that we have a open, standard
IM protocol, regardless of what operating system you use.
* Any email provider capable of handling authenticated SMTP and
IMAP4 (or at least POP3, but IMAP4 is all around a better answer
than POP3). Gmail, most regional ISPs offer this.
* Blogger and LiveJournal are good options in the blog world.
Hope this helps.
