Allow to download tracked keyword mentions
Allow the download of tracked keyword mentions would help social media analysts to store info and create better reports
4 votesNow that HootSuite has newly acquired TwapperKeeper, this may be possible for a future release.
-
Reduce the price of adding a vanity URL
$49.00 is still too much for this service, especially when it won’t even work with the Hootlet bookmark.
45 votesWe continue to consider ways to offer value to HootSuite customers.
-
Add support of img.ly
Add previews for pictures posted via the img.ly service.
3 votesWe always consider additional services to add to HootSuite.

Sortable, Detailed Contacts
Make the contacts sortable (name, klout, etc.); show aggregate data for all contacts (total 2nd order followers, avg klout, etc)

190 votesHi!
We can now accommodate yearly billing for all accounts, regardless of how many team members, but only for Credit Card payments. If this interests you, upgrade to your free Pro trial here: hootsuite.com/plans/pro and enter valid credit information. Log into your account, then submit an annual billing request through here: http://ow.ly/9FctC. Note that only Pro users will be able to submit a ticket through that link.
Sincerely,

QR codes
Allow users to turn owly links into QR codes by adding .qr to the end of the link like the new Google link shrinker (goo.gl) does... or offer the ability to use Google link shrinking within Hootsuite.
11 votesThis would be a great way to extend Ow.ly’s functionality.

add a media preview tool for Linkedin like you have for Facebook
add a media preview tool for Linkedin like you have for Facebook
213 votesWe’re happy to confirm that users posting to LinkedIn Company Pages and their personal Profiles will see a preview generated on LinkedIn for links.
At this time the preview won’t be shown on HootSuite until after the post is sent, and we’ll look into further functionality in this area in the future.
If you have further questions or concerns, please leave them in the comments below and we would be happy to assist you.
Thank you! -
Quicker and more obvious way to add contacts
If you simply want to add a contact and know the Twitter handle, there should just be an option in the Owl menu to do this. A simple, "add a contact" option. Searching for users, then adding them is a pain.
6 votesWe’ll see how we can improve the Contacts section of the dashboard.
-
Move the login button closer to top center of screen
I have a mini-notebook with a tiny screen. For some reason, I cannot see the login button when I visit hootsuite.com home page. I think it is because the screen resolution cuts off the far right and far left of the screen. If you could move the login box closer to the center top of the page, then I could login from my eee pc.
1 voteWe’re always examining ways to make HootSuite more user-friendly.
-
see which followers are not in a list already
Sometimes, I follow people and forget to put them in a list. I wish I could see which lists people are in (NOT "who in is which list, which I can do currently) from the contacts tab.
2 votesIf Twitter’s API supports this feature, we will consider adding it.
-
Allow users to view a Facebook stream of "mentions".
This would be similar to Twitter, tracking any sort of discussion about a keyword. Would be a great tool for businesses.
1 voteWe’ll examine if Facebook’s API allows this feature.
-
create an easier, more efficient way to select a thumbnail for a post to Facebook (currently I have
I currently have to click through a series of thumbnails (usually the thumbnail I need is amongst 30 other thumbnail choices).
It would be great to have a pop out window / lightbox, where I can see all thumbnails and select it right away.
1 voteGreat idea. We’ll consider further ways of making this feature easier to use.
-
myspace groups
support sending updates to myspace groups
3 votesWe’ll continue to monitor the progress of MySpace Groups.
-
Give the option for changing multiple display pictures at once.
We use multiple admins to run our twitter and facebook profiles, and we are trying to foster a personal interaction with our followers, this feature would really help us do that by making it possible to switch between pictures so that followers would know which moderator was handling which city on which day.
3 votesWe’ll review what is possible with each social network’s API. In the mean time, we suggest implementing auto-intial:

Add a view that shows links I visited
It would be nice to click on links and preview the ACTUAL page/article from within hootsuite. I'd like to stay in the hootsuite environment and reduce the amount of tabs I traverse.
1 voteHootSuite currently offers previews for most social networks, including Twitter.

Implement PubSubHubbub for realtime notifications
Polling feeds every hour is not always enough and is also too often.
What about implementing PubSubHubbub? Basically, without changing anything to your polling infrastructure, it will allow for realtime notifications, so that when a feed is updated, the updates are pushed right away.
13 votesWe’re currently reviewing further ways to implement notifications with HootSuite.
-
add statistics for Facebook pages (such as clickthroughs on owlys)
I can see how many click throughs Owlys are getting for Twitter accounts but not our Facebook page.
3 votesYou can see this information in Ow.ly Individual URL stats, but not Summary stats yet.
-
Press ESCAPE key to clear and close the entry box when you dont want to sub
Like Gtalk, Msn, OCS, or other instant messenger, when you press the ESCape key, it closes the current window. For the browser hootsuite I would like to have a similiar aproach. Sometimes im writting a tweet, suddenly I give up that idea and dont want to submit it. I'd like to, when i press the ESCape key, have the box that i was typing getting cleared and closed.
39 votesThis is a great feature suggestion that would improve HootSuite’s usability.
-
allow custom URL parameters for ow.ly links in RSS feeds, not just individual posts
The advanced options allow appending GA parameters to individual ow.ly links but no way to automatically add specific GA parameters for RSS feeds. I'd like to set up my blog feed to automatically post to Facebook and Twitter with unique GA parameters.
4 votesGreat suggestion, and one we’ll consider when we further extent analytics functionality.
-
Distinguish title and body for Blogs
When posting to Wordpress there is no way to set the title of the post. I suggest using the first line for the title and the rest for the body.
38 votesWe hope to add additional WordPress functionality in the future.
