Ability to share the Facebook Pictures from our photo albums on Profiles and Pages with Preview.
Ability to share the Facebook Pictures from our photo albums on Profiles and Pages with a thumbnail preview. I like to set auto shares on my photo's on my Pages to increase Page activity. (People like pictures!) but when I attempt to do this I do not get the thumbnail preview. So I am forced to do this manually and it seems foolish for this not to work. I am sure it has something to do with the coding and or is an oversight. I look forward to this change taking place. Many Thanks!

Allow for sizing of streams.
I would like to view five or six streams at once rather than have to use a scroll bar to view them.

Currently you can change the zoom on your browser which adjusts the size of the streams. You can also use the slide bar on the top right to choose how may streams to display. Would you like other sizing options? Leave us a comment! :)

Select multiple social networks to add to team from team management page
I should be able to select multiple social networks at once to add to a team in the team management pages. Preferably, I would use the search to narrow the list and then select any number of the results to add at once. As it is, I have to perform a new action for each network and the search function only works against the currently loaded subset of social networks in the list. This means I have to scroll several times to load my entire list (I have dozens).
1 voteBeing able to add multiple social networks to a team would be helpful for users setting up new teams with many social networks. We’ll look at adding this functionality in the future.
Currently, you can drag and drop social networks from the ‘Manage’ Organization page, which may make the process easier. More information here: http://help.hootsuite.com/entries/21668072-creating-teams-with-drag-and-drop
Thank you!

bring back the "twitter follower growth aggregate" metric back to pro plan.
I used it just last month and now it's only available for enterprise users. Sadness.

Improve Tab Organization
It would be great if there were a way to organize tabs to make different groups. Maybe the ability to color code them.
1 voteInteresting idea! We’ll look at the options for tab management in the future.

ow.ly link bundles
Would seem that if there were an integration with a service like diigo.com that ow.ly could easily defeat bit.ly's bundle feature. See: https://bitly.com/tour/bundles/

put a submit bitton for the form on your enterprise page
With a submit button, the form information could then be e-mailed to someone who could followup with the prospective client to schedule a demo

Allow ability to change where message is posted after it is scheduled.
As it is now, I can't connect to facebook via hootsuite, I'm trying to change all of my messages scheduled for facebook over to twitter. But I can't change where the message is going after it is scheduled. I have to now copy and paste all my scheduled messages until the facebook issue is resolved.
In the future, it would be very helpful if we could change where a message is sent after it is scheduled, in case we need to make a last-minute change.
1 voteWe’ll look at further extending HootSuite’s editing abilities.

Allow users to view a Facebook stream of "mentions".
This would be similar to Twitter, tracking any sort of discussion about a keyword. Would be a great tool for businesses.
1 voteWe’ll examine if Facebook’s API allows this feature.

post/schedule "mixi page" to use HootSuite.
We are in Japanese company and using Pro account of HootSuite,
There is no good tool to post/schedule for "mixi page" in Japan.
We really need that function as a HootSuite.
Please think about it.1 vote -
use the thumbnail version of a Facebook page's profile picture so the photos aren't distorted
In the dashboard, when viewing a page's Facebook feed, the profile pictures is displayed and scaled without regard to proportion to a square. That creates distortion in many cases. Ideally, the Facebook thumbnail, which is already square, could be substituted here.
1 voteWe’ll look at different ways to make Facebook thumbnail previews better.

allow for third party theme development
Open up a spec for your CSS. You could make it so you have to approve the theme in order for it to show up, but allowing for third party themes would be great.

Add image support for each platform. I truly think this is an awesome application. hootsuite is grea
This is an awesome application. It's a shame to let something as simple ad image integration keep it from being the top social platform on the web
1 voteIf a social network supports this in their API, we’ll definitely look at it.

Advertise what is covered in HootSuite Level 200 and 300.
I just completed Level 100 and it was helpful. Then I discovered I could not continue to Level 200 and 300 without paying. That's all fine and well, except my supervisor won't pay without knowing what is covered in those levels.

Media site collection and filtering
Function:
Stream of RSS style articles from media sites input manually or autograbbed, and filtered for keywords. SO I only see what articles are of interest on the web.1 vote

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the suggestion. Have you seen our RSS Reader App? You can add it through the App Directory, accessible on the left hand side menu.
If you want to create feeds specific to media sites, I’d recommend using Google Alerts to create a feed, then importing that feed to HootSuite. http://www.google.ca/alerts
Let me know how this goes!

Include the URL for a tweet in e-mail
When I send a tweet via e-mail from HootSuite, it should include the status URL to the tweet along with the message itself.
1 voteThis is a wonderful idea that would make a wonderful reference point to the original tweet.

Optional link in Hootlet
Have a checkbox in Hootlet to link the current page. If I just want to tweet out w/o a link, I think it's wasteful to create a ow.ly or ht.ly link I'm just going to delete.
1 voteInteresting suggestion. We’ll examine if any other HootSuite users use the Hootlet similar to this.

Add a view that shows links I visited
It would be nice to click on links and preview the ACTUAL page/article from within hootsuite. I'd like to stay in the hootsuite environment and reduce the amount of tabs I traverse.
1 voteHootSuite currently offers previews for most social networks, including Twitter.
