If the old TinySong was already drop dead easy to discover and share music on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks, the new TinySong is even more so.

Operated by Grooveshark, TinySong lets you search for songs in the startup’s extensive music catalog, and lets you instantly stream previews on the same page. Click the ‘Share’ button next to songs and you’ll get a dedicated URL you can spread (it plays the entire song on the Grooveshark website).

Simple, useful, and nicely designed. What’s not to love?
