      Currently, this already happens within Facebook. We’ll look at extending this feature with other social networks too.

    • Allow viewing of timelines of private profiles of people you follow

      Hootsuite is the ONLY Twitter app I have in which I can't view the timelines of the people I follow if their profile is set to private. Even though their profile is private, I am STILL supposed to be able to view their timeline because I am actually following them. Hootsuite is the only Twitter app that doesn't allow you to view private timelines of the people you follow. That really sucks. This needs to be fixed immediately.

        If you follow a protected twitter account, their tweets will show up in your Home Feed. At this time, timelines from the profile pop-up are pulled through a public search and are unable to pull private users tweets.

        We’ll look at changing this functionality soon! Thanks for your feedback.

      • Confirm to send an update with 'Select all'

        Sometimes I click by mistake 'Select all' and send an update, so it's very hard to do it by mistake and delete in all your social networks...

          There’s currently a secure profile feature for individual social network profiles. This feature is exclusive to users on an Enterprise plan.

        • Allow users to see more than 10 status updates in a Twitter timeline.

          I think it would be be great to see a user's entire Twitter timeline in Hootusite.

              Hi!

              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,
              Sarah | @HootSuite_Help | Community Forum – http://ow.ly/frrVF

                    We’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!

                    • 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.

                        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.

                      • show conversations (full conversations, including answers!) for any tweet. So you can see if anyone has replied to a tweet

                        Take a look at TweetDeck for a simple solution. It shows a single thread (including answers!!) of any tweet you click on.

                        Take a look at Yorufukorou for a more complex solution. It shows not just a single thread but all tweets depending to the clicked tweet. This way you can see all Answeres with all threads in a single view.

                              Currently all photos from other clients in Tweets will preview when you open the tweet, with the exception of Twitter native pictures. pic.twitter images will need to be opened in a new window. We’ll look at the possibility of supporting these in the future.
                              Thanks!

                                    You now have the option of adding your Facebook or Yahoo accounts as secondary logins.

                                    We hope to add more features in the upcoming future.

                                  • Add a better support for facebook's "link" type posts

                                    facebook has 4 kinds of posts:
                                    - status
                                    - photo
                                    - link
                                    - video

                                    i want hootsuite to better support "link" type as well

                                    currently when posting a link on hootsuite it acts as if a user is pasting a link to it's "status" line (smaller image, and text is required)
                                    while using a "link" type, generates a bigger image, and added text is not mandatory

                                        We are currently in the process of beta testing chat support for HootSuite Pro users. As our resources increase we will look at fully rolling this out in the near future. Thank you for your feedback and your patience as we continue to grow.

                                          Ow.ly URLs posted on Facebook are now trackable in Individual stats. They are not yet trackable on Summary Stats.
