    I update all of my brands Cover Photo at least every week. Being able to schedule this would be very helpful!

        A “select all” feature is interesting. We have recently added a checkbox function for adding multiple Facebook profiles at once.

        • Let us manage the Facebook Comments Plugin on our web properties

          We use the Facebook Comments Plugin on several of our web properties. In case we need to reply to one of the visitors' comments posted through the plugin, we would like to do that from HootSuite. We would like to reply as a Facebook Page.

          • Add the ability to sync search columns with Twitter so they show up when logged into their website.

            I currently have many searches created in Hootsuite that I would like to have also appear when I am logged into the Twitter website (or appear in other apps that show Twitter saved searches). Currently I would have to recreate every search column I use on Hootsuite on Twitter.

                  • Modify page title when new messages arrive

                    Hi,

                    I would love it if the HootSuite page would auto-update its title with the number of unread messages (regardless of stream).

                    In this way, one can fully make use of Chrome's feature of highlighting pinned tabs when their title has changed.

                    The part with counting unread messages is optional, a "New Messages !" or something around those lines would suffice.

                    Thanks for an otherwise great product!

                      • Have the ability to add multiple streams for a single profile at once to a tab

                        When adding columns/streams to a tab specifically on a new profile (social network) you've added, it would be helpful to have the ability to select multiple streams for that profile and then to click add.

                          I would like to be able to place metadata on tweets to see trends for frequently tweeted topics. For example, I regularly send out tweets that contain my company's url and I would like to be able to see how successful those tweets are compared to tweets sent related to other topics.

                                Have you seen our Mentions by Influencer module on the Analytics report? It will show you the most influential people mentioning your Twitter handle.

                                We also integrate with SocialBro (http://socialbro.com/) which shows your most influential follows. You can add this app once you’ve signed up for a Pro Social Bro account under App Directory (left side menu).

                                Let me know if these answer your questions. :)

                                  It looks like once photos are posted, they're uploaded with the file name and there is no way to edit them. My photos have IMG_9207 (or something similar) as the description....

                                  Also, it'd be great to change the title tag, description, etc. for posts. When people RT or share my photos, it doesn't say anything about the photo, just "Ow.ly Image Uploaded".

                                    • Assign scheduled messages to team members

                                      It would be nice for advanced team members to have the ability to schedule tweets and assign them to other team members to fill in content and publish them.

                                      This would be very handy for any organization using Hootsuite.

                                      Thank you

                                      • allow me to send status updates for social networks via email.

                                        I have used ping.fm for a long time, but I really like Hootsuite's interface and features much better. Except for one thing. I live and cruise on a sailboat, and there are times when I don't have internet access. I enjoyed ping.fm's feature that allowed me to email my updates, because I can send email via SSB radio when I am out of range for internet. When my internet connection isn't good enough for opening web pages, it often still supports email. This would be a great feature for Hootsuite to add.

                                        • More than 140 symbols? Don't cut! Add full post facebook link to the end of tweeter post.

                                          Incoming data: I want to write post to tweeter AND facebook. This post has more than 140 symbols.

                                          Problem: Tweeter post would be cut without any additional info about full version of this post.

                                          Resolve: cut few symbols from tweeter post (space for link) and add to the end the facebook full post link (ow.ly link) after "...".

                                          You have great program, but please, make it the best comfortable software in the world!

                                          Thank you for your attention,
                                          Andrey Kuzmin
