Song.ly Lets You Share Tracks as Tweets

There’s a new service available for those who want to share an MP3 with friends on Twitter. Its name is Songly and is able to take the URL of any MP3 hosted online and condense it for micropublishing tools such as Twitter and also package it in a neat little Flash player.

There are advantages and disadvantages with this new service: for the first category – there’s not a catalog of licensed music to limit your choices (unlike with TinySong); for the second category – to be able to listen to that audio file it must constantly be hosted somewhere.

Besides its Web interface Songly includes a newly-released Firefox add-on that allows users to shorten and share any track they stumble upon with a right click.
