We’ve added new features, and we think you’ll like them. Some features were the result of your requests. Others were added because they’re just darn cool.

Twitter Lists

Many of you have been asking HootSuite to implement Twitter lists, and we’ve been listening. Not only can you import the lists you’ve already created, you can create your own lists using HootSuite. These lists can be be saved as a column. You can further modify your lists (and who’s on them) using your column preferences.

Facebook and LinkedIn

We’ve decided to push HootSuite functionality beyond Twitter. You can now integrate your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. Whereas before you could update Facebook and LinkedIn through Ping.fm functionality, things are different now. Facebook and LinkedIn accounts are treated similarly to Twitter accounts: you can create columns from these social networks, read your friends’ status updates, and update multiple Facebook accounts. Facebook integration offers in-line commenting.

Scheduled Facebook and Linkedin Status Updates

If you are a regular HootSuite user, you’ve probably tried scheduling your tweets. We’ve extended this capability further: HootSuite users can now schedule their status updates on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Ping.fm. The ability to schedule Ping.fm updates is particularly noteworthy since through it you can update most popular social networks (such as MySpace, LiveJournal, etc.) Scheduling status updates now has near universal applicability.

No TweetBacks yet. (Be the first to Tweet this post)

My favorite Twitter App just got better! Now I just can’t wait until they create an iPhone app.

• Into the Sun download

The Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Home Selection Assistant iPhone app allows you to take pictures, organize, and rank the homes you see while on-the-go.

With iPhone’s built-in location finder, you can also learn about neighborhood information including data on local schools, nearby restaurants and shops, comparable home prices and more. And best of all, it’s free!

I have tried them all (at least I’ve attempted to try them all) and BHG has finally created a tool that can be used by everyone. I even tested it today on a commercial space for lease… it worked great for finding demographics, nearby restaurants, and of course documenting photos/rating the space.

Kudos to BHG + OnBoard for working together to nail this new app!

hat tip to @respres for tipping me off to this app today: http://jeffturner.mobi/the-bhgreiphone-home-assistant-app-is-a-refre
