Ping!
While us sharks were swimming down into the deepest depths of the dark water of music, we resurfaced with something pretty cool: a new API. As of today, any interested developers or music aficionados can use the Grooveshark Tinysong API to get links to absolutely any song in our collection.
Want to be able to grab a link to almost any tune in the world dynamically on your site? Check it.
Even cooler: while we were swimming the ocean blue, we got hailed by a cool new partner to help launch our new API–Ping.fm. Probably the easiest way to dispatch updates to multiple social sites at once (and definitely the coolest), today Ping.fm launched some new updates to their service; including a kick-ass implementation of Tinysong that lets their users instantly blast tunes to their friends all across the web.
So check them out. Check us out. And check out our inbox if you have any cool ideas, thoughts, or suggestions for an integration with our newest and bluest API.

Speaking of the API, I was taking a look at your doc and I’m thinking if it would be possible to make a plugin for Mozilla Songbird using it.
It seems that I’d need RTMP support first, so that’s a bit further down the road.
Anyway, would the people from Grooveshark be interested in having a connection with Songbird? Last.FM has a plugin for it, but to tell you the truth, their service looks poor and old compared to Grooveshark.
Cheers!

Seconding the comment by Rafael, maybe some developer kit? Some way for developers and geeky characters to take grooveshark to other places, for instance, i reached here because i was thinking it’d be cool to be able to use MSNs “what im listening” with GS (wich could be possible if you use Plus! for msn). There’s plenty of people out there who could do this and many other cool things.
On the other hand, so far so good! I can’t stop recommending GS to about everyone I know! Thanks for it, you guys are making a huge difference in such a weird industry.
