You can freely create an account on any of the following
services. Follow the instructions reported on each website on
how to register your new account.

<p>
At the end of the registration process you should have a <em>user
name</em> (or an <em>account ID</em>) and a <em>password</em>
that you will use to add the account to <app>Empathy</app>.
</p>

Click on the name of the service to visit its website.
