Add the option to make columns which are aggregated from multiple twitter accounts.
I manage a bunch of different twitter accounts and though hootsuite makes it vastly easier, it can still be a pain to go through all my tabs and check each account for mentions and DMs to respond to. What I'd like to be able to do is assign more than one twitter account to a column, thereby being able to create an overview tab which has a column for all my DMs, a column for all my mentions, and a column for all my sent tweets. If I used hootsuite's scheduled tweet function I would want an aggregated scheduled tweet…
17 votesWe’ll review if this is possible with Twitter’s API.

Offer the option to hide retweets in a stream
One of my columns is a twitter list. It's a very focused list, but lately it's getting crowded by retweets. I would like to keep this stream focused to just the people in the list. I do not want to see the retweets in this stream.
Please offer an option where we can hide retweets in a stream.
17 votesThis is an interesting idea! We’ll look at how we can add this feature to streams in the future. Thanks for your feedback!

Split long tweets into multiple tweets automatically
While typing my thoughts and if some of the thoughts extend, I'd like to have hootsuite just cut it out into a new tweet rather than limit the tweet.... me tweeting... and than having to type the later half on a new tweet. Why can't it just happen as I write?
17 votesThis may help users who constantly come into conflict with the Twitter character limit.
-
allow for different types of file export formats for archives
While it is great that you can export archives as a CSV file, many tweets have commas as part of the message and that breaks the Excel import. Suggest that you allow other delimiters like tab or special characters that you can specify.
17 votesWe’ll consider additional file formats for exporting.
-
Provide alternative interface layout to support more tabs
I would love a tab format that looks more like email (gmail would be an excellent example). Allow me to nest these tabs as well, and to expand and collapse. This will allow Hootsuite to accomodate more than 20 tabs at the top. Also... when I am in the tab, assume that those are the social media accounts I am posting to.
17 votesWe are considering further ways to improve functionality with tabs.

5000 Characters are now allowed on Facebook Wall Posts. Update Hootsuite to Allow the Same
Facebook now allows 5k characters in a wall post. Hootsuite still only allows 420 characters to be published to your wall on Facebook, which was the old limit. Update Hootsuite please so we can publish 5k characters! Thanks! :)
16 votesWe hope to increase the limit in the near future.

I will like to program upload photos to an specific album in facebook
I have an album called "picture of the day" so this is the reason. Thanks.
16 votesWe’ll look into whether Facebook’s API currently supports this.

enable multiple direct message delete; ie "delete selected messages" feature.
Cleaning out the direct message inbox either with Twitter or though clients like HootSuite is a nightmare having to do it one message at a time. The ability to select multiple messages (even a "select all" capability) then delete those selected would be a huge plus.
16 votesWe agree that batch deletion of messages within your DM inbox would improve usability.
-
allow scheduled tweets to be paused in bulk
Sometimes we get a call from a client to pause all activity for a period of hours/days because of some approval delay or unrelated crisis. At the moment we go into the Monthly view and drag all the scheduled stuff out an extra period of time. It would be great just to have a pause button that pauses all scheduled comms, ideally at a Team level (because a team usually works on content across one Twitter and one FB account)
16 votesInteresting idea! We’ll look at the options for adding this functionality in the future. Thanks!
-
Allow users to see more than 10 status updates in a Twitter timeline.
I think it would be be great to see a user's entire Twitter timeline in Hootusite.
16 votesWe’ve recently updated this feature to provide 50 status updates in the Twitter timeline. We’ll consider the feasibility of displaying unlimited numbers of statuses in the future.
-
PDF documents should be displayed for reading
Currently, PDF, DOC and ODT documents are put up for download. They could be easily converted for reading. This could be done in cooperation with any of the free services. It would aid greatly people to stay online, comment and click more.
16 votesWe’ll see further ways to make documents more functional with HootSuite and Ow.ly.

Allow Klout filtering to stay instead of disappearing each time I click onto another stream's tab
Klout filtering disappears with each click onto another stream. Keep it there!
16 votesThis would improve usability with Klout.

I'd like to set up streams based on a keyword and then filter results by location (UK, London, etc))
I'd like to set up streams based on a keyword and then filter results by location (UK, London, etc))
15 votesThis is currently possible using geocode arguments, but not yet possible with the “near:” argument. We’ll look into this as a possible in the future.

Add a Twitter search filter "-user:*keyword*".
As in if I want to filter out tweets from all users that include "bieber" as part of their username, I would use "-user:*bieber*" that way "@iluvbieber", "@bieber4lyfe" and "@heartbieber4eva" would never show up in my search.
15 votesInteresting idea! We’ll look at the feasibility of this type of feature in the future. Thanks!

Add the ability to use Facebook's new Questions feature.
It would be an amazing feature if fan pages could schedule a poll to begin at a certain time and track the results directly through HootSuite.
15 votesWe hope to extend Facebook functionality in the upcoming future.
-
allow diff SM profiles to have diff world time zones for scheduling purposes.
In order for those managing multiple accounts to be able to schedule updates for round-the-world time zones.
15 votesThis would be interesting for users who are collaborating across the world from each other.

Support a tag to post pictures to Facebook from an RSS feed (for example: meta property="og:image")
This tag is supported by the Open Graph protocol: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
This related to this suggestion: http://feedback.hootsuite.com/forums/40182-hootsuite-com-web-dashboard/suggestions/1418023-when-feeding-rss-feed-to-facebook-provide-the-fac?ref=title
15 votesInteresting suggestion. We’ll examine this further.

Disable audio notifications but maintain visual notifications.
Allow the user to disable audio notifications, but maintain the visual notification on the tab. Audio notifications get annoying.
15 votesWe hope to develop more options for notifications in future releases.
-
schedule bulk messages by using calender function
I would like to be able to use the calender scheduler to schedule smaller bulk posts by just clicking on what days it should be posted.
15 votesWe hope to make batch scheduling more user-friendly to users.
