Please add a stream to track new followers

Being able to track and respond to new followers is essential. This stream option is available on TweetDeck, but I would rather use HootSuite. I hate having to switch back and forth...besides, the TweetDeck app eats up tons of memory and slows my laptop down...a lot!

    Right now, if you want to track your new followers within HootSuite, you can go to the Contacts section of the dashboard. Here, you will be able to view your followers, and it automatically sorts them from newest to oldest.

    As for a dedicated stream, it is something worth considering which is why we continue to mark this idea as “under review”.

        Seriously guys, I asked about this three years ago.
        You KNOW it's a feature that is integral to proper social community tracking...yet you still have it "under review"?
        Why the heck am I paying for a monthly service that lacks one of the most important BASIC functions? I'm tired of being forced to switch to another (free) service for this SIMPLE function.
        Let's get on the ball here and provide the correct basic functionality to this otherwise completely integrated social media toolbox.

        Know the cronology of new followers It's an option very useful because that permit us to manage better our contacts and thank to them that they are following us. We really think that it's a basic feature to implant as other twitter applications. Thank you very much

        Please, Please Please - we need a stream or notification feature to show new followers to Twitter. This is base-level functionality that is a must-have to manage multiple accounts.

        Seems like a straight forward stream, one or two preferences would be ideal. i.e. ( New Followers in last: ### Days/Weeks/Months. Sorted by date. Doesn't have to be too fancy. Or simple straight forward list of followers in Stream sorted by date. Yes, being able to "Check Them Off" as "No longer new" would make it that much better so that we can track which new followers we have reached out to or not.

        I am aware that you can track new followers in the Contacts section of the dashboard but when you hover over the names, you discover that they are links, which means you cannot cut and paste them.

      • David BoyesDavid Boyes commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Thanks for the reply, Sarah. That's possibly a solution, provided you can drag across the usernames to copy and paste them into a Tweet.

        It would help me a lot as well!! I manage a few profiles and can't keep up!

      • William GoddardWilliam Goddard commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I appreciate the feedback...but if we are adding 30-50 per day, very hard to track if you cannot see live updates in a stream...even if it was a notification on the main screen, that linked to the new followers...ie red box appears with the number 4 in it...click on the box, takes you to the new followers stream...or "report" it's just displayable data from something you already track...almost like a filter

      • William GoddardWilliam Goddard commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I would think this is would be basic functionality...one of the best ways I engage people is through mentioning them in a tweet to thank them for following. I know they appreciate it. Please consider strongly adding it

        I'd take this from Under Review to production as soon as possible. I've just moved everything over to HootSuite, thinking that a stream for new followers would be a given. Sure you can view in contacts but its not intuitive to my workflow. Sort this out and I will love you forever Hootsuite. Liam O'Dowd, 30 and 1/2, Leeds.

        I'm a paid Hootsuite user, but run Tweetdeck to track new followers. Would be much more efficient to have a "new followers" column integrated into Hootsuite.

      • Shawn HankShawn Hank commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        If Hootsuite is to be the center of our social marketing universe, tracking and seeing new followers is key. At a minimum, it should be considered as part of any basic analytics that are provided.

        Being able to see a stream of new followers is critical. +1000 for adding this capability.

        P.S. I know this is an old thread (from 2010) and several other topics about this same issue exist on different pages. I can only hope that the fine folks at HootSuite have a report that shows how many paying users have asked for this feature.
