I manage the social networking accounts for Smash Hit Displays and completely understand how overwhelming it can be to control. I would recommend Hootsuite because you can sync your LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter pages together. Also, you can view the stats for your tweets and posts. Its an excellent tool and I believe there's a 30 day free trial. I would also recommend keeping a calender and delegating what social media accounts you will focus on for every day of the week. I write blogs and articles for 7 or 8 different websites, as well as have memberships to about 30 different networking websites. I would definitely lose my sanity if I didn't have a calender to keep track of all of the tasks I had to take care of. Hope this helps!
