LassoIn com is a good website, I really like the way it functions. The best part of the website is that it analyzes and decided the best link to post on LinkedIn. Follow and comment are two important features that social media users look for and this website offers them. One other thing that attracted me to the website was it does not require downloading as the website works on the cloud. And also we can schedule the post on a busy and hectic week so never forget to make a post.
