I would love to see this have a program where I can retweet those on my lists. Right now on Twitter I can only reply to their posts. I’d also like to be able to DM my list the same message at once. I use these lists when I work with JVPs and it is annoying to have to compose and send the same message 20 times.

WooHoot! Looks like some nice additions to Hootsuite.

[Reply]

I absolutely love your twitter APPs, and the iPhone one as well. As someone who manages over 15 twitter accounts the tools that hootsuite provides are some of the best. With the addition of whats in the Barn Owl release I can see that I may be able to consolidate my arsenal of twitter tools! – Keep up the great work!

[Reply]

interesting additions. The “people” button is a great help.
When will you include Buzz?
Just noticed that three pics in your post are missing: barn-cleanup, barn-drafts & barn-tools.
Keep up the good work – Hootsuite is GREAT!

[Reply]

Awesome stuff, especially the drafts.

[Reply]

Awesome! Keep up the great work y’all!

[Reply]

Wow! These are some pretty robust updates. Thanks for providing a great platform to manage Twitter.

[Reply]

Is it just me or does the “Barn Owl” link just lead back to the same general “Get Ready, It’s Big” announcement with no link or details on how to find Barn Owl?

[Reply]

“Impressive, quite impressive!” no truer words were ever spoken about the new upgrade. You guys and gals rock!

[Reply]

Thanks for some really nice advances. Is there documentation?

The People page is much-needed. Please consider adding views (eg Following but not followed).

Also, a way to send out an invite to befriend in FB would be a bit of a groundbreaker.

[Reply]

Thanks! Houtsuite is getting better and better. I hardly visit twitter.com since Hootsuite.

[Reply]

The “Save as Draft” is your best update yet – Awesome!

[Reply]

happy to see the new features, these are great! can’t wait to use them especially the tw’listed. Thanks much.

[Reply]

I would like to be able to schedule the same tweet to go out on several days and I don’t see an option to do that. Is this possible? Is it being considered for future enhancements?

[Reply]

Congrats with this new big release. Apart from some hic-ups today (which seems to be issues on the Twitter side rather than on the HS side) the features work very well and go beyond expectation. The next big thing is to sync between iphone app and HS social media dash board ;-) And i wonder for how long users can enjoy all these great features in a ‘freemium’ model ;-)

[Reply]

Could you explain a little bit or link me a reference about how the custom URL parameters work? I use google analytics for my website and it showed up on the list so I’m curious. I have also noticed a discrepancy between google analytics and ow.ly tracking so I would definitely be interested in learning more.

[Reply]

I am so excited about using the improved tracking! Seeing who’s clicking when will be such a huge help. I also already use Klout outside of Hootsuite, so I’m excited that it’s all being combined into one space! Go Hootsuite Go!

[Reply]

Brilliant stuff guys. The lack of follower management was a real hindrance to my using this tool — looking forward to having a good poke around these new features.

Thank you thank you thank you! I am loving the intuitive design and navigability. Using hootsuite is almost as relaxing as drinking a glass of vino;).

[Reply]

This is a great tool for anyone running a social media campaign. I have a been searching for a twitter relationship management tool. The integration of hootsuite and this feature is fabulous.

[Reply]

These are some awesome updates! Great job Hootsuite team!!!!

I love the new “people” tab, now I can manage who I am following and who if following me. Looking forward to learning the other new features added.

[Reply]

Still no way to change color theme?? I would use HootSuite, but on a large high-contrast display it’s too much bright white space for me. Surely I’m not the only person bothered by this, and it probably seems like a small thing, but to me it’s enough to keep me from using it.

[Reply]

Before I gush and suggest more stuff : some images on this page are missing.

As for the upgrade, very interesting. The drafting idea is cool, but I don’t get the part “Also handy for customer support desks and storing frequently used messages.” Once the draft is published, I can’t find a trace of them in HootSuite : is there a repository? Hsould we put these mesasges in our Favorites?

[Reply]

This is awesome! I LOVE HootSuite and recommend it daily to my clients. What a time-saver and now with even more features it is definitely my favorite platform for managing my social media sites and those of my clients.

Thanks for a great program!
Terri

PS. Just re-blogged your post at http://tastingtheinternet.com/social-media-blog :-)

[Reply]

Awesome, I’m glad you guys keep making improvements. It would be nice if you had included some screenshots or a quick description on how to get to this new stuff. The friends and followers chart wasn’t the easiest thing to find. But now that I found it, it looks great.

[Reply]

Wowsa Mamba! Thanks!

[Reply]

Unless his update fixed it’s lack of identifying new tweets, or it still starts at the newest unread instead of oldest unread… I will continue to look at this a half a client with amazing features otherwise.

[Reply]

These look like some awesome updates. A fabulous dashboard.

[Reply]

Wow Hootsuite has really pulled it together and brought things to a ho’ notha level, thanks team. Rodney Warren Elite Force Marketing.

[Reply]

In spanish, please!

[Reply]

Thanks, HootSuite! You’ve taken my Twitter management to a new level. I’ve tried several other top micro-blog management systems but this is by far the best. And now all this! I feel my company mascot should be an owl.

[Reply]

GREAT new features. I’ll say ‘hoot!’ instead of ‘woot!’ from now on. HootSuite is the best Twitter client available. Rock on.

[Reply]

Awesome!
Will there be an update for the iphone app as well? – facebook integration etc?
Looking forward to the updates!

[Reply]

Still no support for native retweets?

[Reply]

WOW! SO that’s what you guys were working on last night! Nice work! So useful!

Now you need to give some love to your iPhone app… it’s missing out on all the fun not having facebook linkedin or wordpress, column sync, push notifications, this new people feature…. please send some love to your iPhone app.. =)

[Reply]

Your new “Barn Owl” sounds great!
Now my question I have Hootsuite account already install…I suppose that will enter as an update to my account or I have to close it and start again from Scratch!?????
I would appreciate a little more of info in that sense… Thanks :-)

[Reply]

I am a big fan and excited about these awesome new additions and improvements. More feedback after I play with them and see how they work.

[Reply]

Nice. Now our social media guys won’t have an excuse for forgetting to tag their URLs :-)

[Reply]

Your virtual makeover will make a very handy tool even handier. Looking forward to the Webinar.

[Reply]

Some of these upgrades sound good, but is it true you’re making it mandatory that your users convert their groups to lists?

May I ask why you’re doing this?

I like groups, and I like lists. I think they should remain separate. If I added up my groups and my lists (many of which are private), I’d have way more than 20.

Also, in the “Convert Groups to Lists” pop-up that appears on login, you write that Lists can hold up to “200 users.” Twitter’s limit is 500 users in a list.

Are HootSuite lists limited to 200, or is that just a typo?

[Reply]

Nice work! What are the URL parameters??

[Reply]

Great updates, as usual.

Still waiting for Hootsuite to remember where I last read (Web AND iPhone). Very basic feature that every other app out there employs. I don’t use Hootsuite to read, which kills me, because of this one missing feature.

Asking for sync capabilities between Web and iPhone as well…

Thanks again!

[Reply]

Sadly, it looks like you still present Ow.ly as the only integrated URL-shortener, which the core fans have protested. And notifications are still all-or-nothing.

[Reply]

These are some really wonderful ways to stay on top of tweeting. I am particularly interested in the followers with “klout” and drafts additions. Keep up the good work!

[Reply]

Any chance you’ll be providing a Droid app?

[Reply]

What is the third column in the Hootsuite “people” tab? It has followers, following, and then something that looks like a K.

Hi Nathan! Why have an article in our FAQ about that “K”:

I’d like a droid app too. User Experience needs improvement. New features are not explained clearly. Use Less words, try using 144 characters to get your point across.

Sound notification when I get new tweets is not working since you added the new “people” feature. Thanks for checking it.

[Reply]

Great new features. I’d say you guys are soooo close to perfect client.

A couple of features on new “people” tab:

1) Under “search” there should be an option to search in the list of followers/following section, so you can see quick bio. You can then click on to see tweets. During this search, I’m focused on “stats” not “tweets.”

2) Would be great to click on column headings to sort “name” “following” “followers” or “K”. This would be so helpful. What sort are there in?

3) It would be great to see last tweet under each name (maybe an option). If they mention “Trump” or “Teeth Whitening,” they get unfollowed by me.

Thanks again for great product!

Cheers,
Clyde

[Reply]

Thanks for all the hard work — I can tell these changes took a lot of effort from your team!

Quick questions — are the statistics tracking across all my posts (including LinkedIn and Facebook) or just Twitter? I’ve searched and can’t seem to find the answer. Thanks!

I love hootsuite. I would love to see integration features with Box.net to share files and folders with Twitter followers. As well, the ability to save profiles of people who Retweet your post would be inviting. But I can’t see where you can create List in Hootsuite???

[Reply]

I play with them and see how they work.
