  +1 for adding this. It would improve workflow tremendously.

  Currently:
  RSS -> Google Reader -> Send to Hootsuite (configged in Reader settings) -> Save as draft (I have set aside time to do reformats/sends in batches) -> Reformat when I have time -> Send or schedule

  Could be:
  RSS -> Hootsuite stream -> Click to reformat and send/schedule

  "This would in essence mean becoming an RSS reader"

  Yes it would and yes, that would be beautiful!

  Have multiple RSS feeds showing and choose wich post to send out.

  Best regards

  I've figured out a way to do this--i.e. to turn Hootsuite or TweetDeck into an RSS reader. Lots of steps, but it works beutifully:

  @Kirk Munro makes a good point. I follow a LOT of tech forums and having the ability to pour the RSS feeds for these in to HootSuite would make my working day much easier to manage,

  Come on guys. Pick this one up. It's an easy win.

  You know you want to. Actually, even if you don't, you can see from this thread WE want you to.

  Agree with this suggestion. Being able to pull in, for example, Google Alerts RSS feeds, to help us monitor forums and blogs, along with Hootsuite's native Twitter monitoring, would be perfect. If not, I have to switch between multiple apps/websites.

  I would like this because then I could post things to my RSS and use HootSuite to schedule tweets and statuses! That is a killer feature! It seems only a few hops away.

  5 months ago, @Ian suggested just having to options to switch off reposts from an existing RSS/Atom feed. Now surely /that/ would be a no-brainer. You're already doing what we want and then some. Just give us the option to switch off the 'and then some'.

  I think that just allowing access to an RSS feed is actually a good fit for this kind of product. I'd love to be able to see a column for an RSS feed in here with the option of streaming individual posts to another account.

  I think the first suite wich will add this feature will gain a LOT of new users. You NEED RSS Reader to become THE social network complete suite. Because some user wanna POST things and some user wanna READ things.

• AB commented  ·  June 28, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  The ability to add RSS feeds to a single column would be awesome. Please add!

• bevmerriman commented  ·  June 25, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Many of our clients rely on RSS to source articles to tweet (as part of their social media strategy). Ultimately they don't want to stream an RSS feed through your twitter account, they'd like to be selective of what's tweeted. The option to stream several RSS subscriptions into one column will make HS a powerhouse.

  I disagree with you Chris. RSS feeds are an essential part of social networking. For example forums are social networking, and there are RSS feeds for forums. I would like to subscribe to forum RSS feeds in hootsuite to manage the forum posts with my team, be able to assign certain posts to certain team members, and make sure everything is being processed efficiently this way. Today I can monitor tweets about my product, FaceBook comments, and more, but I can't monitor forum posts (old-school social networking).

  Further, even getting beyond forums, being able to monitor community RSS feeds and assign certain feed posts to different members would also be very useful, especially when we want someone to reply to a post in the comments, or when we want to blog about a post, etc.

  All to say, don't think about this request as a request for an RSS reader. Think about this request as a request to be able to manage social networking information that is made available through RSS feeds. I realize it would be like you're creating an RSS reader, but frankly I don't see any way around it. After using your product for only a few days in an enterprise environment, this is the one piece of functionality that I felt was very clearly missing from the product.

  Here's the work around I've started using. [Pro needed].

  Create a new Twitter account. Call it what you want; you can change it later.

  Then add it to your HootSuite Dashboard. Now go into settings and choose RSS/Atom. With a pro account you can add unlimited feeds. Add your favourite feeds to the new Twitter account and set your chosen frequency. It's pretty cool. I've set it up on this account: http://twitter.com/KempOHoots

  Then in your main HootSuite viewing area add it:
  As a search column: "from:[new.twitter.account.name]"
  As a "Sent Tweets" column

  This would be FANTASTIC, I just Hootsuit to track certain topics through twitter searches, adding a few RSS-feeds would definitely ease this job!

• Joshua Moran commented  ·  March 17, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  This would solve my last inconvenience that takes me away from HootSuite, an RSS Reader versus simply auto-posting every new article from my favorite feeds.

• Ian commented  ·  March 12, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  I agree that this is a very important feature for HootSuite. Add RSS as a stream; the code to read RSS feeds is already available for automatic reposting. If I could spend all 10 votes on this, I would.

  Alternately you could remove the requirement for the existing RSS/Atom feature to have to repost. Rawr. I will personally send your dev team beer and pizzas if this is implemented. ;)

• GeoGirl commented  ·  March 12, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  I too would like this. I want to have access to the RSS feed but have a choice on which bits to push to my various accounts. Would make for a very powerful feature.

• Hugh Nichols commented  ·  March 07, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  I agree with Kovalny; Having the ability to add RSS feeds as "Streams" (columns), would make HootSuite an absolute powerhouse!

• Mike commented  ·  February 11, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Yes this would be great, it's the key missing feature for making HS the only client I use for social monitoring & tracking. Also, part of the infrastructure is allready available I think? Just don't push it to one of user's social networks, but display the posts in a column. Even better would be to have the option to stream several RSS subscriptions into one column.

  Best,
  Mike
