I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

  1. Can we have 'hoots'? Like google alerts only called hoots. Will help us keep track & save time.

    Any update on having alerts called 'hoots'? Like google alerts only called hoots. Will help us keep track & save time. Hootsuite can 'hoot' us. We can measure 'hoots' and who is 'hooting' us. It will be a 'hoot'- no pun intended ;)

      Thanks for this suggestion! We’d love to see some further notifications for mentions and monitoring. We’ll be looking at whether this is feasible in the future.

        Hi there! If you use Old Style retweets, you are able to do this. Just choose ‘Edit’ and select a different profile. Please let me know if you have any questions about doing so, or further clarify if you are looking to do something else.
        Sincerely,
        Sarah | @HootSuite_Help | HootSuite Help Desk – http://ow.ly/dBnBz

      • linkedin post

        Is there a way to Share an update (post)
        on my wall?
        I am able to do it within my linkedin
        account but unable to see such an option on hootsuite.
        The same apply in groups. I can not share a
        discussion (post on wall) or create a Poll.
        How do I do that on hootsuite?

        • Social Network 'Dashboards'

          How about a stream that is essentially a dashboard for that social network? I understand there will be API issues with some features on certain platforms, but I would love to be able to log into HootSuite and see my new Facebook 'likes' my new comments, picture comments, if any of my content was shared, etc. It would essentially show us our Facebook notifications in that one location. With Twitter it could show new followers, @mentions, retweets, etc instead of having to divvy up my available stream space with multiple streams. They could show our current profile picture and have…

          • Firefox Addon: Read the meta title instead of title

            I love your Firefox addon (eventhough it is very very slow).

            Anyway the text before the URL should be read from "meta title" if it exists, if not it should read from title of the html file

              • Generate Link Preview at time of publication.

                I schedule publication on our website due to NDAs etc, I want to schedule links to these using Hootsuite - but I get no Facebook Link Preview because the article isn't yet published. If the Preview could auto generate at time of scheduled publishing that would be great!

                      Hi there! Are you referring to the pop out menu on the left hand side of the screen? What would you prefer to happen instead?

                    • Allow to delete more than one DM at a time

                      I'd like to delete more than one sent/received DM at a time. Having to click "OK" every time, makes the process very inefficient. Would be cool if I had a check mark and then delete all those checked in a single click

                        • Psychology, UI and re-engagement

                          Psychology: love HS tools and general UI. But I notice something about TweetDeck which invites re-engagement after a pause, which HS lacks. I'm not sure what it is though. Perhaps HS UI is rather too busy? At times I almost feel I need a break from it. Whilst using Twitter for work doesn't quite feel like 'working' overall, I feel that HS seems to have a feeling of 'work' about it. As much as I enjoy using HS, I do often find myself drifting back to using the Twitter website or even TweetDeck [which I really have some major issues…

                          • Allow additional assignments for team members.

                            It would be great if Hootsuite allowed users to write updates, RT's, etc. and then allowed them to assign that content to team members.

                              • enable persistent filters

                                I love the way I can set up filters for a specific keyword - it's great for creating a stream for a specific Twitter list, then filtering that stream, to find out what the most relevant tweets are from the most influential people.

                                However, when I select another tab and come back to the stream, it's lost the filter! This makes a really useful feature, really useless.

                                Any chance you could make it so that the filter stays in place?

                                Thanks
                                Brendan

                                      We endeavour to support whatever is available through Facebook’s API. That said, the API does not allow updates to comment counts on stream refreshes yet. When it becomes available, we hope to implement it.

                                        Hi there!
                                        Can you please explain what kind of tweets you want to “delete”? It’s not possible to delete other users tweets, however you can block the user, or mark them as spammers by clicking on their profile picture and choosing the option from the drop down menu. Refresh the page to remove the tweet.
                                        Let me know if this helps!

                                        When I go to the LinkedIn website and view discussions, I am not forced to view dozens of RSS items that no one has commented on. Hootsuite should give an option to adjust this as well, as there are often so many RSS items in the All Discussions feed that I can't even get to discussions posted by users.
