In Publisher tab, relocate "compose message" box.

BodyClaim suggested:
When you try to compose a message now and want to schedule it for the future when you are in Publisher, I want to be able to see which posts are already scheduled when so I know where the new post fits in the sequence.

Make "compose message" box more distinct visually.

BodyClaim suggested:
It's hard to tell where the compose message box is b/c it's so bland, small, and out-of-the-way.

Make AM/PM green so we don't get confused what time. 24-hour time also a good idea.

Display the name of team member who posted a tweet in the SENT column. [updated]

2012-02-22T16:53:16-08:00

This already displays in the pending/scheduled tweets column which is very useful when reviewing what has been loaded up as you know who posted what when working in a team environment. Once they've been sent, however, there is no access to that same information on Hootsuite but I'm not sure why.

are you kidding me? I just migrated my entire team's CoTweet account to Hoot Suite looking for this one basic feature and this isn't available? Isn't that the entire point of the dashboard? To know who put what up there and when?

I'm following the instructions to delete a network and they don't work, so I have to presume they only work when you're on pro and removing networks more than 5 ... which is making me not happy w/ this product. Sure, it's free and I have access to one of my twitter feeds and one facebook feed in one place ... better than nothing, but far from what is advertised. The other free product gives me more.

DWeiss suggested:
Presently, there is no way to block someone from Dashboard without reporting them as Spam. The only way to non-spam block someone is to do so through Contacts, which means they must be following you or you them, and it is unwieldy if you're blocking many people at once. I recommend an option in dashboard beside "Report Spammer" which is simply "Block".

Twitter Lists Management - add to lists not in a stream [updated]

2012-02-22T08:00:57-08:00

Saw this previously posted and marked as complete but it is not resolved. When adding a profile to a Twitter list ALL lists should show up not just the lists that are in a Hootsuite stream on the dashboard. When I try to add a user to a list only those lists show that are in streams and all other lists are missing. This is a lame function that has been bugging me for a year. Please fix it it's a no brainer.

Peter said:

I agree. Adding people to lists is a basic Twitter function and shouldn't be associated with Streams. They have nothing to do with each other. I have 20 lists that I use for organizational purposes but usually don't read, and I had to create streams for them and have to waste resources having them update every time I use HootSuite.

add email notifications [updated]

2012-02-22T07:53:09-08:00

My client currently uses CoTweet and I use Hootsuite. I am trying to convince them to switch to Hootsuite and upgrade to an Enterprise plan but they absolutely need the ability to receive email notifications when they are mentioned in a post or someone replies to a post. Is this a functionality you are considering?

BA said:

I agree, this feature would be most helpful!

Offer the option for pop up notifications (especially desktop client). [updated]

2012-02-22T06:48:53-08:00

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.

Custom link shortening url [updated]

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

Ian said:

Are you serious?! $49.99 - every month?! TEN times the price of the Pro account for one extra feature that is provided free by Bit.ly?

I have a Pro account as it is priced right and worth it. The features I have with my Pro account are collectively worth far more than a short URL service, so this makes me think the management of Hootsuite are just not living in what the rest of us call the real world! This sentiment is reflected by almost everyone commenting on this.

If a hundred third party services integrated with the Hootsuite short URL service instead of with bit.ly (not as well as) like they do now, then I would pay $50 per YEAR for it. Some of us buy these services out of vanity, such is the term "vanity URL", but most people do not make money online so will never take this seriously, it makes Hootsuite at times look like a joke at best or a scam at worst.

Sadly this is stated as completed 18 months ago and there is apparently no change. Hootsuite can forget getting my support on the affiliate program to my almost 100,000 followers.

Perhaps just sliding it to the bottom of the window will work. The auto expand is just too close to the "Refresh All" button which is when it gets accidentally triggered.

Buffer like : Schedule your tweets more efficiently [updated]

Buffer Like: Scheduling tweets of this curated content frees you up to answer questions from your community and monitor search terms more easily.

Michael Windham said:

If you randomized the specific time of each post within an optimal posting time window, that would eliminate the feeling of automated posting that so many find offensive.

In other words, if the best times to post on Tuesdays were between 4PM and 6PM, or 9PM and 10PM, then as long as the post went out at a random time within those time windows (say, 4:37PM or 9:53PM) it would seem as though a person were actually posting right then.

Michael Windham said:

Ever since I used Tweriod to discover the best times to tweet, along with using Buffer to schedule Facebook and Twitter updates automatically, it has been on my wishlist for HootSuite to provide this type of functionality.

What would be even better would be if it would take the functionality of Tweriod (figuring out best times to post for each day), but expanding that to include Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn (at least). Then when I send a post through HootSuite, it would automatically go out to each channel at the best time for that channel.
