Thank you for your feedback about Google+ Pages in HootSuite. As an official launch partner of Google+ Pages, HootSuite was allocated a very limited number of seats for trial launch which is why they were allocated to Enterprise customers first.
We are gathering feedback and paying close attention to how existing customers are using Google+ as well as the requests from our user community. We appreciate your patience as we collaborate with Google+ to expand this offering. We’ll be very pleased to share updates when possible.

This is a powerful tool and we’re looking at the ability of Facebook’s API to do this request.
Thanks for your contribution.

Show number of retweets in statistics
It would be great if you added the number of retweets to statistics - both on an aggregate level and per individual message.

Certain functionality is available in summary stats. We’re reviewing other options too.

I want to be able clear read tweets/status updates that I've already read..
I'm coming to HootSuite from TweetDeck and it was very useful for me to be able to clear my columns after I'd read/skimmed through my received tweets and status updates so when I next looked at TweetDeck I start with a clean slate and don't have to try to remember/find where I left off in each of the five Twitter accounts, three Facebook fan pages, personal Facebook feed, and two mySpace pages that I manage. I really love HootSuite, but this is a feature that I'm really missing from TweetDeck.

Built-in tweet-longer function
It would be good to be able to manually override the 140 character limit and, like file uploads, have the full tweet go to a HS-hosted URL, similar to the twitlonger service.

We like this idea.

Include retweeter's information in the column for user's own tweets retweeted
As it's already present in other types of retweet columns (it seems absurd on the column for other tweets retweeted by the user, though).

ow.ly links in Facebook don't include image thumbnail or preview text
Links shared on Facebook fan pages have higher click-throughs if they include the thumbnail image and the lead-in/preview text sentence or two. When I submit an ow.ly link via Hootsuite, these images & text previews don't render, just the link.

what is the status of self-hosted WordPress blogs support in Hootsuite?
We host our wordpress blog and I'd like to integrate it with hootsuite. Is this possible?

AdminChris from HootSuite
(Ambassador of Happiness, HootSuite) responded
In order to integrate self-hosted blogs, HootSuite needs an API for these blogs. This is easy to do with WordPress.com since the API is centralized, but a different story altogether with self-hosted blogs. Still worth considering since there’s a lot of self-hosted WordPress blogs out there, though.

Offer the option for pop up notifications (especially desktop client).
I like the sound notification. But that is only for the live tab. We loose out on what is going on in the other tabs. Especially if we are working on other documents and have hootsuite in the background. A optional notification for all tabs would be great. A optional pop up would be even better. Again...for all tabs. Not just the live tab.

We are currently reviewing the possibility of Growl support. We’ll continue to provide you with updates.

Relationship Status
Hootsuite for web should show the relationship between my account(s) and the person whose profile I'm viewing in much the same way Hootsuite Lite for Android does

subscribe to / display an RSS feed as a column
When you click "Add Column" add an option to enter the URL of an RSS/Atom feed (such as a blog you follow). hootsuite then displays the recent items from that feed in the column.

This would in essence mean becoming an RSS reader — functionality that goes beyond simply supporting social network APIs.

Please add a stream to track new followers
Being able to track and respond to new followers is essential. This stream option is available on TweetDeck, but I would rather use HootSuite. I hate having to switch back and forth...besides, the TweetDeck app eats up tons of memory and slows my laptop down...a lot!

(Ambassador of Happiness, HootSuite) responded
Right now, if you want to track your new followers within HootSuite, you can go to the Contacts section of the dashboard. Here, you will be able to view your followers, and it automatically sorts them from newest to oldest.
As for a dedicated stream, it is something worth considering which is why we continue to mark this idea as “under review”.

Allow us to drag and drop sort the social network icons on the top right (the ones we checkmark)
It is difficult to to eye scan all the social network icons inside the platform to which I might want to stream a message. It would be TEN times better to be able to sort them from left to right in the order that I prefer. And it would be even better if I were able to add separators (like Firefox bookmarks) in between the set of group profiles. (icons - upper portion of website)

Good idea that would offer better customizability. However, we are exploring other interface refinements too.

offer the option to sort feed/stream results by language.
It would be convenient to be able to remove tweets in certain languages from my hootsuite streams. I am concerned that I may miss important tweets because I'm scanning over tweets in German, Danish, etc...

We’ll examine the options provided by each social network API, and if they offer language-specific options.

See followers/followed of other people
I'd like to be able to surf the follows of other users to make it easy to find new people.

This may be something to consider when we offer additional functionality on the People section of the dashboard.
