Always love seeing @jzwill on TV and hearing how @Allbirds is doing its part to help stem climate change @smerconish @CNN
“We’re facing down the barrel of a gun with climate change, and particularly young people are looking for businesses and government to step up,” cofounder of Allbirds Joey Zwillinger tells CNN's @smerconish about the Green New Deal and climate change. https://t.co/BFBFjhIwbm

We @WarbyParker are all very excited about our new Virtual Try-On! Go #teamwarby!
Leveraging the face-mapping tech on Apple's iPhones, the Warby Parker app will now include a "virtual try-on" feature, which lets customers preview what glasses would look like in impressive detail using augmented reality.

Thanks! So glad you like it!
I haven’t been impressed with a new app in a long time. The new augmented reality feature in @WarbyParker’s app that allows you to try on its glasses is the future of retail. 👏👏👏 cc:@NeilBlumenthal
