After erroneous wedding-related emails, Pinterest says sorry
The photo-sharing site accidentally sent emails about impending nuptials to users who are not engaged. It apologized for coming off as an ‘overbearing mother.’
Pinterest has apologized to some of its users who, the service erroneously assumed, were getting married.
An email message from Pinterest read:
You’re getting married! And because we love wedding planning — especially all the lovely stationery — we invite you to browse our best boards curated by graphic designers, photographers and fellow brides-to-be, all Pinners with a keen eye and marriage on the mind.
Several young ladies took to social media sites to point out Pinterest’s gaffe:
Pinterest assumed that I’m getting married cause all my pins are about wedding stuff for my brother’s wedding. pic.twitter.com/WSwtnMf8Lh
