  1. More Filters for the Assignments view

    I recommend adding more Filters to the Assignments view so that you can see a"Master view" of all Team Members' Assignments for all Social Networks. Right now, you have to select one Social Network at a time and this is tedious if you have a lot of Social Networks to manage.

    • 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.

        Thank you so much for your continued feedback. While we haven’t yet prioritized this on our product roadmap, we are always interested in ways that we can further enhance the Facebook integration with HootSuite. Stay tuned!

      • Add "so and so responded to this" on list columns, not just mentions, dms, and keyword columns

        Currently the only columns that show the blue "so and so responded to this" message or "so and so resolved this" message are mentions, main stream, dms and keywords. It would be nice if list columns that multiple users are monitoring would have this same functionality.

        • Include ALL facebook news update items

          my FB timeline in HootSuite does not include all items, e.g. 'Like' updates and new friendships. It would be great to rectify this, such that the timeline in HS is the same as the one supplied by the FB app. Wouldn't need to use FB app then.

          • Wordcloud + keyword lists from stream

            Allow users to create wordclouds and keyword lists from streams (either for home stream or custom search stream) to identify main focus of conversation among the selected user group.

              • Run reports on a team members productivity?

                Detailed reports outlining a members activity within Hootsuite. This would provide a means to measure staff productivity.

                • Change Pricing Structure of Analytics Points

                  increase base points for analytics report for pro users. 50 isn't enough, 100'd be great! Additionally, make it cheaper to purchase extra points.

                    • add global filters for keyword, application, or user

                      It would be wonderful if, as is with some other clients, I could filter out tweets from specific users, filter out mentions of specific users or applications (like paper.li, for example) or by keyword.

                        started  ·  Chris from HootSuiteChris from HootSuite responded

                        HootSuite now has filters based on keyword and Klout score. This feature is currently exclusive to users on a Pro plan.

                        Filters based on application and user is also something worth considering.

                      • Add custom URL shortning to the HootBar

                        I like your Firefox hoot bar, but it's limited to bitly and owly. I have my own short domain which I'd rather use, and there are many out there that others like, such as is.gd.

                        Tweetdeck allows you to use an arbitrary custom URL shortner by entering a URL shortening end-point
                        (http://support.tweetdeck.com/entries/132632-add-a-custom-url-shortener)
                        . It would be fantastic if Hoot bar offered the same.

                        • I would pay alot more if there is lifetime purchase rather then $6 a month.

                          I love the app but upgrading to pro I was discouraged to sign a $6 subscription. I rather prefere to pay more as time fee.

                            Perhaps include an option to set whether the count is all unread streams or just the home or just direct messages, etc.

                            • Publish a description for facebook links instead of page meta description text

                              I'm trying to use HootSuite as my social network management client. Being able to post links to a FaceBook fan page is essential for me, and while this currently works, the text below the link is from the page meta description and not an excerpt (the first 50 characters, or something like that) of the text on the page I'm linking to.

                              I want to be able to link to FaceBook and include these excerpts in the link (which is what FaceBook itself does if I link from within the FaceBook UI. Make your FaceBook integration work like it does…

                              • Allow private twitter accounts to accept new followers. I have not found an app that does this.

                                I have a private twitter account. I am currently unable to approve/accept new follower requests unless I log on to my computer and accept by going online. I've tried doing this on my smart phone but I have not yet found an app that does this. If I use my Internet browser on my smart phone I CANNOT do it either. Twitter in the mobile browser doesn't have this option either.

                                      With the exception of HootSuite for iPad, the web app doesn’t work very well on mobile devices. This is why we’re directing users to mobile versions. Once mobile hardware and software progresses further, we’ll consider adding support to the web app for mobile devices.

                                    • Add Disqus analytics to reports

                                      I love the reports feature (though the price is far too high) and I'd love to see Disqus analytics added to it. Analytics are paid feature of Disqus but they are extremely useful. I'd love to give my staff access to a single report on their site traffic, social performance, and comments.

                                      • Ability to turn off 'display retweets from this follower'

                                        Twitter allows you the choice of whether the retweets of someone you follow show up in your stream. there's a toggle button, then you can turn of retweets so you only see the tweets of the actual people you follow. i would like this feature in hootsuite

                                        • Ow.ly photos should have unlimited comment length

                                          When you upload a photo to Hootsuite the Ow.ly image has a comment section but is hamstringed by the twitter 140 character limit. Minus room for the posters user name and room for the image link.

                                          Instead the behaviour should reflect what many other sites like Plixi (TweetPhoto) do. That is to say your comment can be whatever length you want. But when tweeted the actual tweet will be truncated (with room for the photos link of course.)
