Ubuntu WebApps is a new feature that will be integrated with Ubuntu by default, starting with Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. This new technology allows websites such as Gmail, Grooveshark, Last.fm, Facebook, Google Docs and many others to be tightly integrated with the desktop (Unity): they will support HUD, you'll receive desktop notifications, quicklists, ALT-TAB support and they will integrate with the messaging menu:

Examples of what the new WebApps technology can do:
  • Control Grooveshark from the Ubuntu Sound Menu
  • See how many unread emails you have in your Gmail or Yahoo Mail inbox from the Ubuntu Messaging Menu
  • Get native desktop notifications for Facebook, Gmail, Google+

Some services like Facebook, Google (including Docs, Gmail, Google+, Picasa and YouTube), Flickr, Twitter, Foursquare and Identi.ca will be directly integrated into Online Accounts, available in the Ubuntu Control Center (System Settings):
