I was wondering if anyone has come across some abstracted API that allows you to link to all these various social outlets to broadcast updates, pictures, videos etc.?

A:
You could use the API at ping.fm if it covers all the services/etc you wish to access. Their API becomes the abstraction. Supports REST, so should work in just about any tech you use

There is indeed a common API for such a purpose that is rather new, but is gaining adoption among many of the popular social media sites:
Open Social
Wikipedia: Open Social
OpenSocial.org
Hope this helps.
