being able to Group Profiles into groups so that you can select one Clients group and it contains all those profiles.
We manage numerous corporate companies Social media, and it is a huge problem that we cannot group certain profiles together for instance create a group for a client and that group contains their profiles and when you post you choose that customer group. this avoids mistakes made . This would be a huge benefit for any Social media Company
We’ll look into additional ways to make social network profiles sortable.

We already have 34 places where we post things. We have certain times where we post to different social networks on a regular basis, some at least 5-10 a week. We want to make sure that we are posting announcements to the right places. Having distribution lists will help eliminate mistakes since we would clearly name the list for what we desire to post. I would think this would be a given for a tool as powerful as HootSuite. Hope this function is provided very soon.

This is paramount to manage our social profiles per team - even if we had different "pins" favorite "icons" as phase 1 that we choose from a drop down box
ANy reason why it has taken sooooooo long? to implement???

For us its simple -we create a team add social networks to the team and I want to be able to choose to post to every feed within that team - and no other feed -
Alternatively when we choose feeds at least can we group them by company name???

holy f**king crap HOW has this issue not been resolved it is now a year and a half since someone posted this question and the best we get is we will look in to it half a year ago.
what a freaking joke hootsuite you seriously suckif there was any competition i would be there but unfortunately i am stuck with your stupid ass selves who cant even put the simple feature of organising groups.
If i have 1000 groups and 10 different categories of groups and i have to manually click through each one AND YOU HAVE A STUPID CLICK SYSTEM that means i scroll up to the top of the icons and oh it goes off so stupid.but the stupidest thing of all is your not giving your customers what they NEED not fking WANT but NEEEEEEED
stupid ass programmers

Is grouping social networks available in Hootsuite yet? It would make it so much easier just to select a pre-defined group of profiles instead of picking through the dropdown list.

I am glad I am not the only one with this problem. This is the single biggest roadblock to growing our business. Sorting through every group wastes so much time!

For us the absence of a group function is a show stopper. Can you tell a date when this feature will be available?

I agree!! I am new to Hootsuite and love the management features that allows you to schedule and manage your posts in Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. But, I was VERY SURPRISED that a program that helps you MANAGE your posting in your social media outlets DOES NOT allow you to do the obvious which is to have Facebook groups all in one place along with your Twitter pages and Linkedin groups.
If I wanted to send a message just to all my Facebook groups it would be so much easier to have the option to have a Facebook group button that you could hit to quickly send to just Facebook groups. Then you could prepare a message to go out to just your Linkedin groups with a click of a button without having to search through all of your groups and click on just the ones you want to send out.
If this issue, which is a very important one, is not fixed I will be looking for another way to better manage my groups.

I notice that this topic has been coming on for a LONG time. As a new Hootsuite user this was the very first issue that came up for me. It is the first problem that I immediately noticed that will frustrate me and it DOES!
PLEASE could the developer speed things up and solve this??
For me it is a matter of working with many different African countries (Facebook groups) that speak different languages. I need to group the profiles so that I can send my posts (ads) in different languages to the different groups faster. For example I need to bundle together Facebook groups for Angola and Mozambique so that I could send posts in Portugese there faster...

I was very disappointed when I discovered that it was not possible to group in one button or option, all the the groups and pages from facebook, linkedin and twitter. For me this function was something obvious and should have been implemented from the start.
Shame on you Hootsuite.

This should be a thing that can be done! We need away to sit up Groups/ into different files, so that we could make a bunch like 25 groups and select to send ads to....etc. Its hard to manage like it is.

This is desperately needed, and is HootSuite's biggest ommission! You need to be able to create Groups or Profiles. A "Profile" could be your personal online presence with associated feeds, FB,Twotter etc, and the next Profile could be your business online presence, or you artist online presence, etc. Then when you post, you don't want to have to pick out the FB and Twitter and MySpace account etc that belongs to you want to post/update for, you want to be able to select a single Profile, which would then post to all the associated social media accounts only for THAT profile. This is such an obvious need, it was the first thing I looked for when I created my HootSuite acount, and couldn't believe it wasn't implemented.
This is much more than "making social network profiles sortable". What's needed is a level of hierarchy, that would sit between your HootSuite Account, and the Social Media accounts or streams. For me, these are "profiles", but they coud also be called "groups". It should work like this:
HootSuite Account
My Personal Profile My Business Profile My Artist Profile (etc)
Personal Facebook Business Facebook Artist Facebook
PersonalTwitter Business Twitter Artist Twitter
etc etc etc -

I agree with the poster who commented that Groups should ideally be able to be tied to a tab. I'm going to investigate the claim of this working in Enterprise as well. I wasn't aware of that.
