How to Auto-Post to Multiple Social Networks from WordPress Site?

I have a self-hosted WordPress website and am curious of how people might be configuring one plugin or various plugins to auto-distribute a blog post to facebook, twitter, google+, and any other social network you're auto-submitting to.

Hootsuite has always been one of my favorite way to schedule posts, which means it's semi-automated, but when it's from a blog, you have to use your rss....which does NOT send a thumbnail of the blog posts photo.

So, I'm looking for a list of plugins to either hit each social network individually or one that gets to them all. The ideal would be if the plugin would allow a person to command how many characters or words from the blog post would be added to the auto-post. But, I'll settle for anything above manual posting.

      I was all ready to give jetpack a go, and I just happened to read their scathing reviews. Do you agree with these?

      WordPress › Support » Jetpack by WordPress.com

      Particularly the long one that has this part:

      So here is a summary - 1) Jetpack Publicize works unreliably, if at all.
      2) Apparently the Jetpack developers feel Facebook and their magic code is to blame. Maybe it is, but not the point.
      3) Threads here go back 2+ years with the same complaints from users, same excuses from developers, many, many updates and versions of WP and JP, and no solutions.
      4) Jetpack's components can be replaced by more reliable and better feature plugins in a few minutes.
