In the increasingly complicated and over-populated world of Twitter applications, sometimes it’s nice to go back to something simple.

Take swg.fm for example. To share an mp3, you insert your username, the name of the artist, the songname, and click send.

The secret appears to be that actually the combination of search and url shortener could really apply to anything, and music just looks cooler when you get a video appear.
