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.
Status: under reviewCurrently, you can do this with the ow.ly bar, but this may be something to add to the dashboard as well.

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... more
Status: under reviewWe'll explore this idea some more.

Google Buzz integration
I think you should consider integrating Google Buzz support.
Status: under reviewDefinitely worth looking at, but we'll have to see how Buzz does in the coming months.

Enable recurring (scheduled) tweets!
It would be nice to allow users to schedule recurring tweets - I want to be able to send the same tweet on each Monday, Tuesday, etc.
Status: under reviewIt's an interesting thought, but it must not go against Twitter's ToS.

This would enable users to use HootSuite for identi.ca and other hosted StatusNet instances!
Status: under reviewThis idea has great potential.

Hide tweets for a while feature.
You know how some people you follow tweet 10 times in a row or @ reply to everyone and their cousin. It would be nice to be able to just "ignore" or "hide" their tweets for 24 hours or 1 week or 1 month without unfollowing them. If I completely unfollow them I may never come b... more
Status: under reviewBasically a mute feature. This is absolutely worth considering.

Allow us to choose which type of retweet (old-style or new) on the fly rather than in settings
It's good that we have the choice between the new-style Twitter retweet and the old-style. However, it would be nice to be able to decide which one you want to do on the fly. Sometimes I just want to retweet something as it is (especially if it's a long tweet). Sometimes I want to modify and comm... more

Remember timeline position after loading new tweets
I'd love for Hootsuite to remember the timeline position when it refreshes a certain tab or column so that you can read the new tweets chronologically, like most twitter clients on mobile devices like Android and iPhone do. Preferably start loading new tweets starting on the latest read tweet so ... more
Status: startedYou'll see this feature coming quite soon to HootSuite for iPhone. Thanks for your great ideas!

Meemi account
Please add Meemi in the account section, like facebook or ping.
Status: under reviewWe'll have to investigate what Meemi is, and how it would benefit most HootSuite users.

Allow bulk uploads so lots of tweets can be scheduled with one file upload.
Enable some means to upload a CSV or some other spreadsheet format that would enable scheduling a lot of votes all at once, with one file upload.
Status: under reviewI can see how this would be useful. With this in mind, it must be implemented in a way that discourages spam.

Choose default social network
Reposting this request from http://getsatisfaction.com/hootsuite/topics/default_social_network (which appears to be "abandoned").
The ability to choose default social networks for your posts would be great, and would definitely save time. I realize there are implications for multi-prof... more
Status: under reviewIt's an interesting idea. One of the risks, though, is that people may more easily post to the wrong profile. In the corporate world, this is quite risky.

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 is a main feature of twitter.com.Status: under reviewThis may be something to consider when we offer additional functionality on the People section of the dashboard.

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... more
Status: under reviewGood idea that would offer better customizability. However, we are exploring other interface refinements too.

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.
Status: under reviewThis would in essence mean becoming an RSS reader -- functionality that goes beyond simply supporting social network APIs.

create a hashtag recommendation tool based on entered text or often used hastags
Either like the @[suggestion] feature, or a new feature that utilizes entered text or frequently used hashtags, the user will see recommended hashtags to add to post to help us maximize our use of the feature.

Custom link shortening url
Ability to use a custom company branded url shortener that would still provide ow.ly statistics - i.e. register a domain and transfer it to hootsuite to use as a link shortener
Status: startedAn update on customer URL shortening services:
We are working on this service now and are testing with a few (big) users. To get on the alert list, add your name etc. to http://ow.ly/pro
Thanks!
