I suggest you ...

Post links to Facebook with image thumbnail and title/preview text

It would be great to add the ability to post links to FB with the same features already available in Hootsuite web dashboard, i.e. include an image thumbnail and title / text preview

        Its 2013.
        I'm a hootsuite pro user, and i think its very disappointed that this feature is still not available

        Just the image would truly be better. I used another app this morning that does it but I prefer HootSuite. Thanks for being awesome!

        Yes. This is a MUST! This app will be no use to our radio group if we can't upload photos from mobile apps direct to Hoot Suite.

        Some of these comments go back to 2011. It's almost 2013. Should I stop being hopeful?

        When you add pictures to hootsuite ipad or iphone app the link apears only not the picture. When you use the web interface it shows the picture. Would be great if this could be added!

        highly necessary for android app!!! the lack of this feature forces me to return to my desktop. Bummer!!! Also: whem uploading a pic to a facebook page, i'd like the pic to be displayed in the timeline feed, and not just a link like it is now.

        This seems like a pretty URGENT update to me..

        Post links to Facebook with image thumbnail and title/preview text
        for both mobile and tablet versions!!!

      • Christine M. AustChristine M. Aust commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I'm using iphone/ipad highly mobile posting to several accounts - WHEN will this thumbnail feature be added?

      • JonathanJonathan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Agreed! Or just photo upload the whole image into a post! Seesmic can do it.

        I get an error MSG any time I try to send a tweet? Tweet fails?

      • answer answer commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        How do I do this? When I make a post via hootsuite it goes to my picture on FB....

      • Brent AltomareBrent Altomare commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        +3 for me. I didn't realize until tonight that the web version of Hootsuite handles this correctly, but the iPhone version does not.

      • mbmb commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        To me, this is the ONLY thing that makes hootsuite more valuable to me over TweetDeck (who gives me FREE UNLIMITED accounts).

        I manage multiple social streams for organizations I work with, and the FB link image preview is a huge asset.

        PLEASE add this feature!

        It's sad because formerly I was able to do this using the "regular" hootlet from within my iPhone (I just saved the hootlet javascript in a Safari bookmark), but now I can't use it anymore, because I get redirected to a page requesting me to download the iOS app...

        One of the best features of the web version is that it previews the links you post to Facebook. The iPad and iphone don't do that. For marketing purposes, this is important be causes people are more likely to read your links when they see the preview. I really hope to see this addition to your already great product.
