So, how much IS too much?
We have:
Facebook
Twitter
Flickr
Yahoo
YouTube
LinkedIn
Foursquare
Meetup
Tumblr
Posterous
Blogger
Wordpress
500px
iPhoneArt
and most recently Google+.
This list is just a list of media sites that I use on a fairly consistent basis and doesn't include things like MySpace and a smattering of other older sites.
Within the past year or two, I've connected my Flickr posts to Twitter and Facebook, via an email of all things, with the goal of simplifying and covering all those bases. I felt like I had it down, but now... with the introduction of Google+ I was immediately wondering "how much is too much" and I have friends and acquaintances who are thinking the same thing.
Thus far I think I like the simplicity of Google+, and I've already started connecting with people I might not have connected with via Facebook or even Twitter, but I also have this concern about duplication, spamming, you know, if I have a friend(s) who's on all these same networks, they're getting spammed already, so I suppose I shouldn't worry about it too much and just go with it.
I guess for the time being I'll figure out how to connect Google+ to Facebook so that my Flickr uploads send their links to Twitter which updates Facebook.
Confused?
Me too.
What's your favourite social media connection tool/app? (And why?)

Let's start with the services I (actually) use: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr.
I try not to overlap text posts. Photos on the other hand, especially portraits, get posted to Facebook, Flickr, and Tumblr because I have contacts that don't overlap. I use Google+ mostly for my potty mouthed comments on random things. I hardly post to Facebook ever since my mom friended me. Everyone IS on there at the moment though, so I keep it around. Twitter, I think I just post random stuff that I think would be too short to post on G+. Is it too much? It is but I somehow feel I can balance them all. Do people think I'm spamming them? No one's said anything yet.
It. Hurts. My. Brain.
I just want to go outside.
