Ubuntu has the desktopcouch application installed, this is used by Ubuntu One (it replicates with a couchdb server in the cloud) and is also used for replicatable firefox bookmarks, evolution contacts and all the other stuff that you see being ripped out if the desktopcouch rug is pulled. If you want to get to the local futon then browse to file:///home/USERNAME/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html which *should* exist, but sometimes doesn't and you will be redirected to the right port and be logged in http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/Documentation/How_Desktopcouch_Works
