  1. Allow private twitter accounts to accept new followers. I have not found an app that does this.

    I have a private twitter account. I am currently unable to approve/accept new follower requests unless I log on to my computer and accept by going online. I've tried doing this on my smart phone but I have not yet found an app that does this. If I use my Internet browser on my smart phone I CANNOT do it either. Twitter in the mobile browser doesn't have this option either.

      • The option to remove Klout scores from your profile

        Option to remove Klout scores from your profile. I have removed and revoked all access to klout due to privacy issues so not happy that it is still being displayed. By default your application is breaching my privacy

        • Make the bulk upload more user friendly. Perhaps .txt format. The CSV formatting is too finnicky.

          ensuring the formatting is exact on the .csv format is glitchy and time consuming. Would also
          be better if more than 50 could be done at a time.

          • Need support for RELATIVE timestamps

            HootSuite Web needs to support RELATIVE timestamps instead of actual times only. (i.e. it should say that something happened "1 minute ago" not "at 4:33pm").

            This is the default for both Twitter and Facebook natively, so it seems odd that HootSuite doesn't support it.

            On a side note, the HootSuite iPhone app already DOES support this -- so, clearly, the data is readily available. We just need an option for it in the web interface.

            Thank you!

            - John...

            • Ability to export lists and other (user selected) data to Microsoft Excel

              I use lists extensively to organize the streams that I monitor and target. I would like to be able to export All of my community (lists members, friends, followers, etc.) to excel so that I could conduct ad hoc analysis (e.g. sort by no. of followers), and add ad hoc columns per tweeter for notes, scores, etc.

              Ideally I would be able to create a table where each community member is a row, and default columns would include twitter account follower, friend, listnames (up to 20 per account), number of followers and friends (people they follow), for each member. Any…

                  • Recommendations box on facebook pages

                    With the integration of timeline on facebook pages, there is a new box call Recommendations.
                    Can you see if it is possible to integrate this feature in hootsuite, so we can monitor all the recommendations sent to our page?

                    • Remove hashtags from Facebook posts

                      I think Hootsuite should be able to automatically (or have the option to) remove hashtags from Facebook posts because they're unnecessary. At the moment I have to post to Twitter and Google+ at the same time, then post to Facebook separately removing the hashtags.

                      • Ability to schedule foursquare check-ins

                        My company has a foursquare brand page that we use to publish the location of events and connect with our followers. We also use HootSuite for most our social media interaction.

                        Being able to schedule our brand's foursquare check-ins would be awesome. TweetDeck currently has this option, but I'd like to see if become part of HootSuite.

                          • Highlight New Messages until read

                            Something like Chromebird where new messages are highlighted until clicked (or read) that way I can run hootsuite in the background, but know what are the new status updates right away!

                            • Allow users to override the dashboard browser auto-detect

                              Most web sites which auto-detect the device/browser in use allow the user to choose to use the full web site or a mobile/limited site. HootSuite does not offer such an option for Android Honeycomb/tablet (Xoom) users, and forces them to download and use the sub-par HootSuite Android app. The same restriction is not made on an iPad / iOS, where Safari can be used for the HS Dashboard.

                              • integrate stats from YouTube Insights into the Analytics

                                YouTube Insights as modules within the Analytics.

                                You also need to reduce the prices. They're way overpriced since you can get the same information for free from their respective places.

                                  Now that Facebook allows users to 'reply' to individual comments, and especially now that they have expanded their API for it, it would be nice if we could reply to comments within Hootsuite.

                                    I would like to have a column so I can see when someone writes on my wall or on my page's wall.

                                    I'd also like to be able to see incoming messages from my FB inbox and be able to reply to those messages as well.

                                      It is now possible to monitor your Facebook wall posts within HootSuite.

                                      As for Inbox messages, we’re considering further ways to extend Facebook functionality with HootSuite.

                                    • Wordpress to Twitter Integration with Ow.ly

                                      The WP to Twitter plugin for wordpress does not support ow.ly. This would be a very welcome feature! Need an ow.ly plugin for Wordpress!

                                      • Change Pricing Structure of Analytics Points

                                        increase base points for analytics report for pro users. 50 isn't enough, 100'd be great! Additionally, make it cheaper to purchase extra points.

                                        • Bring back total sum of clicks for a given date range

                                          I need to be able to quickly see the total # of clicks for ow.ly URLs published via my various @accounts. For example, I want to know how many clicks we got between jan 1 and march 1 for a specific @account. Why this feature was removed isn't clear to me. Seems like a basic measure many would require.
