I suggest you ...

I want to be able clear read tweets/status updates that I've already read..

I'm coming to HootSuite from TweetDeck and it was very useful for me to be able to clear my columns after I'd read/skimmed through my received tweets and status updates so when I next looked at TweetDeck I start with a clean slate and don't have to try to remember/find where I left off in each of the five Twitter accounts, three Facebook fan pages, personal Facebook feed, and two mySpace pages that I manage. I really love HootSuite, but this is a feature that I'm really missing from TweetDeck.

        This was the main feature I was looking for when I signed up. Everything else looks great. You know if Flipboard beats you to it, that'll be an interesting day.

        Yep, a Dealbreaker. I really don't understand how there are so many feature starved social media managers.

        I'm fed up enough to consider writing a program for my personal use.

        Same here, add the clear column feature to Hootsuite or I'll just keep using Tweetdeck! Sad no one has fixed this issue yet...

        My Tweetdeck just stopped working. I want to switch to Hootsuite but they still don't have the clear columns option. Tells me that Hootsuite doesn't care about user feedback.

        This is probably the one feature that keeps me from using this client full time, I can't tell after a while where I left off on my timeline, which is unread or not. Very poor service to your customers, I would be willing to pay for the Pro version if it had this feature in it.

        I add my comment about going back to Air TweetDeck until this is implemented ... why so long?

        I've just installed HS for the first time and I'm frankly *stunned* this isn't a standard feature. What were people thinking?

        Seems strange that this has been open for 2 and a half years and is 3rd in ranking. Hopefully some progress will be made soon. With so much social media input and so much info it is an essential reqt.

        If no progress soon what about a third party add-on anyone?

        PLEASE PLEASE GIVE US THIS OPTION.

        If you are managing multiple accounts throughout the day, having this option would allow any user to easily and quickly see where they left off in the stream and be able to pick up the thread without digging and digging (and digging.)

        Please. Give us this option.

        Why is such a simple enhancement that is so make-or-break for me not getting any attention at all Hoot people?
