New release (beta v3.0) RSS feeds, AdSense integration, Hootlet plus more

Thanks to your excellent feedback, the team at HootSuite’s been busy. We’ve added features and improvements to your favourite one-stop twitter tool.

New Features:

  • Tweet monetization thanks to Google AdSense integration with Ow.ly. If you have a Google AdSense account, you can add your own ads to any ow.ly-shortened links you send out.
  • Ability to tweet RSS feeds. Each RSS tweet gets its own ow.ly URL, so you can track clickthroughs on every new blog post.
  • Our very own bookmarklet, Hootlet! Allows you to instantly tweet the URL of any page you’re on without visiting HootSuite.com.
  • Sync your avatar with Twitter.com. Users can instantly update their Twitter profile image at HootSuite if it’s changed at Twitter, without re-uploading the image.

Improvements:

  • Increased DM characters to 280, to reflect the latest Twitter change
  • Re-organized the Settings page, so it’s now grouped by tab
  • Added ‘Confirm Email’ field in sign-up (to eliminate email typos)
  • Added an “auto initials” function when creating new tweets -BK
  • Added an in-line login box popup for session timeouts
  • Implemented better Ajax error handling
  • And a bunch of other small bug fixes….

    Love your new additions! Keep up the great work.

    One question though – when you ask for ‘the exact google adsense code’ what are you referring to?

    Can someone please tell me how I would go about automatically changing my twitter links from tinyurl to wo.ly? I want to use this on my RSS feeds. I am using twitter feed but you cannot shorten links with ow.ly

    @Jason — you’ll need to add your RSS feeds to HootSuite and remove them from Twitterfeed to do this.

    @Chris — Due to changes in our business model, we’ve had to discontinue AdSense integration.

    Thank you so much for the great updates! the newly added in-line login box popup for session timeouts is a great idea. Keep up the wonderful work and long live Hootsuite!
