My favourite Pinterest tool is PinPinterest com It has given me about 55k followers for my Pinterest and unique visitors everyday for my blog 🙂
It is free to use, runs on the cloud, optimised for use on mobile devices, easy to setup, has Pin Scheduling feature and Speed Control…
The best thing I like about PinPinterest is that it has Intelligent Content Detection algorithms, which pin only images relevant to my business to my boards 🙂
Thanks for the good job PinPinterest 🙂
