Music services such as Pandora, GrooveShark, and Last.fm also has web app integration as well. The image below shows that GrooveShark is integrated into the Ubuntu sound menu, like the music player is.
How to Install
To install web apps integration, you have to add the PPA to do so. Be careful, because this is still in development. When this feature is released, there is no telling if this will be backported to 12.04 LTS.
Add the PPA below using a terminal command, or add the bold part to your Software Sources.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview
After you have entered that command, enter this one to actually update your repos and install Unity Web Apps integration:
After this, you should be set. You might want to log out and then log back in, just to be sure that everything is set up correctly. For now, this integration only works for Firefox and Chromium browsers; no work on Chrome or Opera support yet. That will be up to Google and Opera Software, because Chrome and Opera are both closed source browsers, so developers can't add this support for them.
If you have any thoughts, let me know of them below.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview
