Pushing Prism on Ubuntu

“In Mozilla’s words, “Prism is an application that lets users
split Web applications out of their browser and run them directly
on their desktop.” In practical terms, that means you can have
individual browser windows dedicated to specific Web
applications–like Gmail, Facebook or Twitter–without
having to worry about them becoming mixed up with your other
Firefox tabs or needing to be restarted if you restart your
browser.

“Pretty much any website can be set up to run in Prism, but
since Ubuntu 8.04, the Ubuntu repositories have offered a number of
preconfigured Prism packages for popular Web applications. In
Ubuntu 9.10, these include Facebook, Twitter and Google Mail,
Analytics, Calendar, Docs, Reader, Groups and Talk.”
