I have used Hootsuite for a long time, but now I cant get my home column to notify me of new messages. The option used to be a check box in the edit columns area. Anyone know how to set up a column to notify in this new version?

Another benefit of Hootsuite over TweetDeck is that, if you sync it up with your Hootsuite acct (the one you can use in your browser), you will be able to update any FB pages which you're an admin of. This is what I've been waiting for in a Twitter/FB integrated app on the Android market ever since I switched over from BB a few months back. TweetDeck's user interface is still much better so I still use it on my desktop.

I want to love Tweetdeck, I really do… but not getting all the notifications is enough for me to have to keep email notifications coming instead of being able to rely on an app. If a status turns into a conversation, I'd like to keep on top of it and get notices for all comments and not just the first.

If this is an app that will consistently (and in a timely manner) receive FB notifications, I could perhaps finally replace the abysmal official FB app. Tweetdeck has a good thing going, but for whatever reason (I think they said the API limitations or something), you'll only get the first notification on an item. If 10 people comment on your status, you're only getting notified for the first. Anyone know if this is any different/better?

I'm still using TweetDeck. I haven't seen any benefit to switch over to Hootsuite yet.

"I know I’ve said this before, but for power users there really are only 2 players in the Android Twitter world: TweetDeck and Hootsuite. Which one are you using?"

Ever heard of Touiteur?
