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.
19 votesGreat idea! We’ll look at adding this functionality in the future.

auto schedule rss
Enable Auto-scheduling for RSS Posts so they can get optimal exposure
19 votesThis is a good suggestion that would enhance both RSS and scheduling functionalities within HootSuite.

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
19 votesThis is a good suggestion.

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.19 votesWe’re considering further ways to make bulk scheduling easier for users.

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!

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…
19 votesWe’ll consider the benefits of exporting to Excel data files.

Extend stats CSV export to include more details
The new CSV export of ow.ly stats is great, but please include the clicked URL and time of click so that I can cross-analyze this with the rest of my data (Google Analytics, marketing campains, support tickets) in @gooddata
18 votesMulling this idea over to see how to implement and what to include.

The new toolbar on the left is useless and awkward. Please remove
same as the topic.
18 votesWe’re always considering further ways to improve HootSuite’s UI.

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?18 votesInteresting idea. We can see how this would be really useful.

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.
18 votesThanks for submitting this idea. We are always looking for ways to improve cross-network postings.

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.
18 votesWe hope to add more Foursquare functionality in the upcoming future.

Add a gadget for iGoogle

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!
18 votesWe’ll look into further ways to enhance usability with HootSuite in regards to new messages.

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.
18 votesSupport for Android tablets is on our road map.

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.
18 votesNow that YouTube has been added to the App Directory, this is an interesting suggestion.
-
Implement Facebook 'Replies'
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.
17 votesAwesome idea, we’ll look at adding this in the future should Facebook make it available through the API.
Thanks! -
Column for FB wall posts and inbox messages
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.
17 votesIt 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.
17 votesWe’ll consider additional pricing options for Analytics.

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.
17 votesWe’re considering further ways to extend Ow.ly analytics.
