Empathy and Pidgin are popular.
You could also try web-based services like Meebo.
I personally think the best IM system is Google's new Hangouts, particularly if you and/or your friends and family are Google users. Best to use Google Chrome browser and install the Hangouts extension. That gives you the simplicity of a web client with the functionality of a full native client and provides chat, voice, video, and video conferencing. All free and no software to install so it works as well on linux as on Windows/Mac/Android/iOS. The Hangouts app on Android and IOS is excellent and all conversations are maintained across all your devices. I still use Skype chat and video where I have to but use Hangouts mostly when I can now.
i tried to download yahoo messenger because IM can be sent to a mobile phone w/o fees,
and
got message which is like this, "this kind of a software will damage your computer...."
Is yahoo messenger bad to a computer?
Pidgin seems to be working good...

Google Talk uses the XMPP (Jabber) standardized protocol. In the Ubuntu repositories you have the following IM clients which should support Google Talk: ekg2, emesene, gajim, jwchat, kadu, kopete, licq, pidgin, psi, psi-plus, qutim and tkabber.

I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
