      We’re happy to confirm that users posting to LinkedIn Company Pages and their personal Profiles will see a preview generated on LinkedIn for links.

      At this time the preview won’t be shown on HootSuite until after the post is sent, and we’ll look into further functionality in this area in the future.

      If you have further questions or concerns, please leave them in the comments below and we would be happy to assist you.
      Thank you!

    • Ability to "Share" Facebook posts within HootSuite

      Ability to "Share" a Facebook post would be extremely useful for information proliferation. Such a tool would significantly enhance HootSuite's capabilities on data and profile management.

      • Auto fill @reply

        The auto fill for @replies does not cover all the people I follow… A general user search would also be great to have. AND all of this should be available on the iPhone app.

          HootSuite auto fills the Twitter handles of users you have mentioned already. We’ll look at expanding this to a general user search as well.

            Hi!

            We can now accommodate yearly billing for all accounts, regardless of how many team members, but only for Credit Card payments. If this interests you, upgrade to your free Pro trial here: hootsuite.com/plans/pro and enter valid credit information. Log into your account, then submit an annual billing request through here: http://ow.ly/9FctC. Note that only Pro users will be able to submit a ticket through that link.

            Sincerely,
            Sarah | @HootSuite_Help | Community Forum – http://ow.ly/frrVF

          • new column option for facebook allow filter based on friends lists

            we've already filtered our facebook friends so that we only see certain streams...if we are to really use hootsuite for facebook we need the same listing ability that we currently have for our twitter client

              You can now easily upload images and share images with your tweets directly from twitter.com no need to use any other website or application. Can you please add an option to upload images via HootSuite directly to Twitter.com and not to ow.ly?

                Thanks so much for your feedback! Owly images now generate previews on Twitter, same as the native image hosting for Twitter. We’re continue to review the possibility of posting directly to Twitter in the future.

              • 24h clock

                I'd like to have an option to change the timestamp format from 12 to 24 hours (streams and schedule), sometimes i still get confused by that as it's not my country default date format. Not much a problem, but it would be nice

                • Add the Twitter 'interactions' tab to the stream so users no longer miss important interactions with their followers.

                  We constantly miss RT's notices and other interactions with our users since Hootsuite doesn't allow users to import 'interactions' data. Please add ASAP!

                      With the new arrival of Google+ communities, we will further investigate the possibility of adding this in the future. Thank you for your requests!

                      • Twitter Stream API

                        Twitter has a stream API which allows a live view of the users twitter stream. Documentation is here http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api. TweetDeck (and ChromeDeck), and Seesmic both support it, and it's a great feature, would be awesome to have it in hootsuite too.

                            Currently, HootSuite only loads one tab at a time in order to preserve bandwidth and API calls.

                            However, we do see how useful this feature may be, and may consider it for future updates to our API call process.

                            Ow.ly stats are great, but I'd like to use shortened URLs in other applications (Web pages, Facebook, etc.) and would still like to capture statistics on clickthroughs. Currently using bit.ly for this, but would prefer if I could do it with ow.ly.

                                I can't believe it's not possible to upload/or schedule a picture to be uploaded to Facebook without the requirement/necessity of having a Twitter Account as well. Sort this out please Hootsuite, this is a basic requirement.

                                  • allow users to schedule tweets by the minute.

                                    Your tweet scheduling is pretty good, but I'd love the ability to be able to schedule tweets by the minute. Sometimes I schedule daily recaps that post one after another for 5 minutes in a row. Currently I have to use CoTweet to handle that.

                                    • Display the name of team member who posted a tweet in the SENT column.

                                      This already displays in the pending/scheduled tweets column which is very useful when reviewing what has been loaded up as you know who posted what when working in a team environment. Once they've been sent, however, there is no access to that same information on Hootsuite but I'm not sure why.

                                      • Email Alert For New FB Page Post and @Mention

                                        I would like an email alert when a someone posts on a facebook page's wall I am monitoring and also when a @mention is found. Greatly helps in quick feedback and customer relations.

                                        • Allow users to schedule a wall post to a friend's Facebook wall

                                          HootSuite allows us to schedule a Facebook wall post to our own wall, but it would be nice to schedule a FB wall post to a friend's wall (for example, allow me to schedule a wall post for a friend's birthday). Thanks!
