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.

At this point the Facebook API doesn’t allow us to do this. We’ll continue to research it, and implement down the road if possible.

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.

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.

This has been rolled out to Enterprise accounts in limited beta release. We intend on offering this to Pro accounts as well.

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).

This is a powerful tool, and we’re looking at the ability of Twitter’s API to meet this request.
Thanks for the suggestion!

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.

You will likely see this feature added soon – thanks for suggestions.

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.

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!

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”.

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

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.

facebook page home feed
When using a facebook page it only shows the page's feed...
Would be nice to be able to see the facebook pages HOME feed (of all the other pages this page has liked)... until this is possible I will still need to log into facebook to catch this stream. would love to be able to just stay in hootsuite.

Combine multiple streams into one column
It would be super helpful to be able to create a container stream (column) that could have other streams added to it.
In other words, I would like to be able to create a column two which I could assign arbitrary stream sources.
For example, I want Home for a Twitter account for a brand, News Stream for a Facebook Page for a brand and a Twitter search related to that brand all in one column.
The options for a stream column are currently, "Filter By" and "Delete Stream." What I would see is, "Add another stream..." that would allow… more

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.

Custom via solutions for posts to Facebook
HootSuite works closely to ensure that all of our systems are in line with our partners terms of service. We are open to exploring the option of offering custom via solutions or branded via solutions for posts made to Facebook through the HootSuite application. With your support and votes this feature will become a high priority for our development team. We appreciate the understanding of users in regards to this feature being declined for Twitter as it is in contravention to their terms of service.

We recognize there is a need for custom branding with Facebook profiles. Therefore, we will further review this feature request, as well as its feasible compatibility with Facebook’s Developer TOS.
Please note that this feature request is quite different from spoofing HootSuite posts as Facebook posts. That request has previously been declined. Please see: http://feedback.hootsuite.com/forums/40182-hootsuite-com-web-dashboard/suggestions/607089-the-ability-to-remove-via-hootsuite-link-and-log
Thank you :)

Add ability to filter out tweets based on hashtags.
Often I like to follow every tweet from one person exept one topic this person also talks about.
For example I want to filter out every tweet that has the hashtag #htc or #android, because these topics don't interest me.
Another example: Remove every tweet that is a retweet from @someone I already follow.

Right now, you can do this in a search or keyword column by adding the “-” argument in front of the term you’d like to filter. This functionality is not available yet in home feeds and mentions columns, though.
