Snapchat's fans, not the media, are telling the world about Spectacles
If you've spent any time on Twitter lately, you've probably noticed people going on about Spectacles, Snapchat's just-released camera sunglasses. But much of the conversation hasn't even focused on the launch -- it's been about the bizarre and delightful game Snapchat has made out of getting them. Rather than letting anyone buy them online, it's been dropping adorable Snap Bot vending machines around the country, providing a countdown and map on its website so fans can breathlessly await the next appearance.
Buy Snapchat's Spectacles at this weirdo vending machine (updated)
Spectacles, Snapchat's odd but intriguing move into wearable hardware, is starting to make its way into the wild. The company just announced how you'll be able to purchase Spectacles, and it's about as weird as you'd expect. The glasses will only be available at custom vending machines called Snapbots -- the first one arrived in Los Angeles, near Snapchat's headquarters, earlier today.
