Include retweeter's information in the column for user's own tweets retweeted
As it's already present in other types of retweet columns (it seems absurd on the column for other tweets retweeted by the user, though).

We’re still reviewing the feasibility of doing this using Twitter’s API.
Thanks for your feedback!

Every other twitter app that I use has the ability to see Who retweeted our tweets AND then the ability to immediately reply to them to thank them for the retweet. This is a very common twitter practice that Hootsuite does NOT make available or easy to do.

@SW. Couldn't agree more. I can't see who's retweeted us and the autocomplete @ is not working. How am I supposed to remember the twitter name for everyone we follow?!?

I just started a free trial of HootSuite and this has already been an issue for me and my team. It's making me look at other options. Before I can consider continuing with a paid service, I have to be able to justify the cos to my manager--she's going to want to know about efficiencies, ease of use, and if I have to go elsewhere to see such basic information, it's not going to work for us. A big part of building our follower base is to thank the existing followers who retweet us--some of them are employees and they appreciate the recognition. A search of "@____" isn't working, either.

until recently could see New Style retweets in my @noxhanti search stream w/ the names of the accounts retweeting. The new "My tweets retweeted" column is not much use to me as I don't know who is retweeting...have to go to twitter to find out. Like to acknowledge/rt ppl who rt me + it's good to know what works for which people in my network

It's been over a year since HootSuite posted they'd consider the suggestion. Unless I'm missing it, we still can't see who's retweeted tweets. Come on guys..get on it!

I can't even think this is not currently possible ! For community management it is very important. I don't like to switch to Tweet Deck to see who retweeted. Please change this ! Thanks a lot

The deficiency of assistance of this function is enough for me to seriously reevaluate using the Hootsuite platform!

You can definitely do this...SproutSocial shows you this information, which is why I still even use them. But it would be SO great to have this in Hootsuite and all of my reporting in one place.

For the search, it needs to be exactly "RT @HootSuite" ie) your own username. If you delete the space, or do not add the RT it won't pull all of the results. Let me know if you are having any difficulties!
Please note that this is simply a suggestion that may assist you in getting the data that you are looking for. The feedback item is still under review.

Thank-you for the suggestion. It's okay but not great as you can't directly copy and paste the tweeter's address into the compose field, but it'll do for now. I know you guys will figure out a better way. Hoot-hoot!

Totally Ridiculous, unbelievable that hootsuite doesn't have this feature. Not having it is a massive shortfall from hootsuite, a huge error that needs to be fixed. All it needs is the profile thumbnail of the re-tweeter next to the re-tweet icon that you can scroll over to show the name. The solution posted above is useless and does not work.

Sarah, I don't believe that is accurate. When I do a search for @PaulSteinbrueck, http://twitter.com/i/#!/search/realtime/%40PaulSteinbrueck does not have the 34 retweets shown here:

You can't review _all_ retweets this way, only old style ones. The new Twitter process doesn't allow this kind of tracking, hence the need for this functionality.

I really love using hootsuite, but the lack of this feature really kills it for me. I'm about to give up on hootsuite if this feature isn't added soon, as a lot of people managing a community I need this feature. I switched from tweetdeck to hootsuit (mainly for the facebook support), but I'm ready to switch back and update my facebook page status manually...

I am not even a heavy Twitter user yet finally gave up on Hootsuite for lack of this very feature. It's critical to know for relationship-management purposes who has retweeted one's tweets. Hullo? Using Tweetdeck as of tonight. I miss Hootsuite's tabs. Never had reason to use the team features. I don't miss switching to twitter.com to see who has retweeted each time. I hope Hoosuite adds this feature so I can switch back, meanwhile I'll just deal with having 20 columns across the window.

People have been asking you for this feature since April 2011! Please do something about it Hootsuite. If Tweetdeck can do it, HS should be able to do it as well. It's not a limitation of the Twitter API.
Please let us see who RT's our tweets, not just the fact that they've been re-tweeted! This 'limitation' another factor that is preventing my organisation from going pro with you guys.
