For a while I used HootSuite, but they switched over to a premium plan for things that had been previously free. (Bad form.) Then I used TweetDeck, but their iPhone app crashed too often. I've tried Ping.fm, Selective Tweets, and even just opening each site in a separate browser tab.
Today I started using something new. Posterous. Basically, this allows me to send status updates, photos, videos, and blogs directly from my email. I can post to one, two, or all my accounts at once. It automatically generates photo slideshows if I attach multiple pictures, shortens URLs if I paste them in the body of the email, and collects all my posts and updates in a single feed.
It doesn't let me interact with anyone, but I'm excited to try it out.
What about you? What, if anything, do you use to manage your social networking? Have you found that "perfect tool" yet?
Hugs,
TLC

email, twitter, facebook, blogger, phone, texting, and just added linkedin...
there just seems to be WAY too many things out there, weren't things so much easier, when you could just ignore people in one format, instead of dozens?
while most of me likes the interaction, meeting new people w/similar interests, and getting back in touch with old friends and family members that I don't get to see that often...
a small part of me feels like osmosis has considerable merit as a primary form of communication
You do a good job at managing it all, Tera!
I'm just doing Twitter and FB - I haven't integrated them or anything. I think it's because I'm using them differently... On FB, I'm putting a more general thing and Twitter is more immediate for me. Of course, I'm a beginner when it comes to tweeting!
I'm totally lost. Ha!
@Wendy--you need gps for that!!! :)
Tara,
Its amazing to see the tools you use. I just use email, facebook and my blog.
Thanks for sharing this post. Very interesting to know whats out there for social networking.
Best,
Suma.
so...I have a question...BEFORE you post something, is it now considered PRE-Posterous??? ;) *groan*
