I suggest you ...

'Could you please include TwitLonger or another Tweet shortener in HootSuite?' has been merged into this idea

Built-in tweet-longer function

It would be good to be able to manually override the 140 character limit and, like file uploads, have the full tweet go to a HS-hosted URL, similar to the twitlonger service.

        When I retweted somebody must delete the name of the user because hootsuite truncates the post.

        If you can't say it in 140 characters then you do a blog post. Simple. Otherwise you're not using social media right.

        Mike - I've been waiting for this service in Hootsuite for a while now. With all the new services coming up in Hootsuite, I'm wondering why it is taking so long. I want Hootsuite to offer exactly what http://www.twitlonger.com/index.php/main_new offers.

        This is not a service that a lot of people use - but once in a while - it is useful especially when we can't or don't want to rewrite the original tweet in a RT (retweet).

        I LOVE HOOTSUITE! But this service needs to be integrated to make it the ultimate most perfect Twitter App!

        Folks, Neither I (nor other supporters) are advocating expanding the size of tweets...besides, the Twitter API wouldn't allow for it, anyhow.

        What we're advocating, and suggesting, is having a service like twitlonger...where a longer message can be edited, and then the tweet that actually makes it to twitter is shortened with a link to view the rest of the message.

        Twitter limits posts to 140 characters so that you will GET TO THE POINT & not ramble on & on & on, ad nauseum. Please do NOT add more characters!

        Me gustaria poder contar con el servicio que me permita escribir Tweets de más de 140 caracteres si me es necesario.

        Most definitely need to add this feature as it is useful when retweeting with a quote.

      • Ken GKen G commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        definitely needed this is one of 2 features lacking that prevents me from using this app that i actually paid for back when it was a paid app. Tweetcaster, Seesmic, Tweetdeck, Plume and Twidroyd all support this feature
