      • Allow a way to create a feed from a news search

        I want to be able to do a search for news (in my case I need blood clot news) and have the news results show up in my reader. I can do this on one of my readers using google news' RSS feature. I can't get it to work here though.

          • My wishes

            1 . Automatic updating of a news stream is necessary. Now the latest news appear if I refresh all page, having pressed the F5 key.
            2 . Just appeared news have be highlighted on 10 seconds by other background (for example, yellow). So newest articles are visible.
            3 . The name of a stream have to be brighter. It is lost against "RSS Reader" inscription. It is better to trade places them.
            4 . The heading, instead of the source name has to be the first line in each news of their stream.
            5 . It should be added besides…

              • More features on RSS Reader

                It would be beneficial for me if you could add the Assign/Resolved feature to the RSS reader (as it is for twitter or facebook).

                Also getting statistics from it would be much appreciated.

                      I would love to visually see my RSS Articles Greyed-Out after I share them through Hootsuite, so I can keep track of what's been shared already.

                      • I should be able to see the entire RSS URL.

                        As it is now, I can only see about the first 23 characters which isn't enough to tell the difference between IBM DeveloperWorks feeds.

                        • Adding workflow

                          It would be great if the RSS Reader had workflow capabilities (email, assign, etc.) like some of the other apps such as Twitter and Facebook.

                          • Make it work with blog searches

                            Hi, not sure if this is a temporary problem but it doesn't work with RSS feeds from Google Blog Search or IceRocket. This is going to be a real issue until/unless it's fixed.

                              I can't use facebook page feed rss as source like http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=[myPageID]&format=rss20
                              I usually use this to get content from the facebook page of our fanchise headoffice or to analyse content form competitors!

                                • Options for different view of the RSS feeds

                                  At the moment you can only see the title of each new post in the RSS feed. It'll do, but it would be great if you could customize the view to see the first few lines/paragraph of the actual post as well.

                                  Cheers for a great app!

                                    Currently the HootSuite app only allows you to post to twitter, facebook, foursquare and linkedin. It would be nice to have instagram listed there too allowing users to post to all these social networks in single go.

                                    • Add support for secure connections in RSS Reader module at some stage

                                      Currently Hootsuite supports secure connections (https://) but the RSS Reader app doesn't, so I need to change from a secure connection to a non-secure connection to use the reader.

                                      Could you include support for secure connections somewhere down the line? TIA.

                                      • allow rss for more than one social profile

                                        i can only add one profile to my rss reader, but would like to be able to add two or three profiles to my blog's rss. why does this function no longer work???
