I’m in the market to find a new Twitter client. I came across this post. I have never heard of HootSuite till now, but it looks like a great tool. I will have to check it out and I will be sure to Tweet about it to my followers if I find it useful.

Great app! Just switched from TweetDeck.
A few suggestions though:
- I’d like to see an option to hide tweets that have been seen before (also dm’s, mentions)
- The page title should include the number to new tweets (e.g. “HootSuite (123)” = same as “Google Reader (123)” for my RSS feeds.

Are there any plans for international versions? Maybe I could help to translate some elements into German.

@Larry — Sorry, there’s no way to revert to version 1.0. All users will eventually be moved to version 2.0 and we won’t be supporting v1.0 any longer.

We realized that the new version might be slow on very old OSs / browsers, but we wanted to create the most innovative and useful interface we could. This meant using ajax and other advanced javascript/CSS.

We are thinking about creating a simpler interface w/ reduced functionality that can work within v2.0.

@Amy — Have you checked out the Ping.fm integration? You can tweet to Facebook through Ping.

@G — The “Tweet the Love” requirement is a special promotion for early adopters. Anyone who wants a sneak peek early upgrade to HS 2.0 needs to send a tweet to do so. In a few weeks, we’ll be opening the new version to everyone and you’ll be able to upgrade with no tweet required.

@Stuart — That’s something we’ve considered. Thanks for the feedback.

@marilyn — You can add the Sent and Pending columns to any tab. Click “add column” choose “profile feed” and then select Pending or Sent from the drop down.

Thanks for all the praise!

@Bill — an “approval” queue is something we’ve been thinking about. Feel free to suggest features on our Get Satisfaction forum: http://getsatisfaction.com/hootsuite.

@Philip — I think we’ve fixed this bug. If it’s still happening for you, go to http://hootsuite.com/logout to log yourself out, then log in again.

@Caleb — We’re having some issues due to countermeasures Twitter took in response to the DDoS attack they had. We’re working with them to resolve this asap.

I just opened a hoot account due to a post from lifehacker. Very impressed by the layout. I’m not getting the group tabs to update consistently. Is there a delay after setting up the account before things start to smooth out? It will load a groups tweets once, then when I go back to it, there’s nothing and I have to refresh 2-3 times before it responds and loads the tweets again if at all.
