What makes something fresh? It’s a word we use a lot without a clear definition. I mean, we agree that it has something to do with being new/ripe/unused/just-plucked. We call fruit «fresh» when it’s raw and in season. We call a beat «fresh» when we like the way that it sounds and we haven’t heard anything like it before. We call a haircut «fresh» when it looks clean and attractive. 

So what do we mean when we call tweets «fresh?» Well, I chose the word so let me explain. Fresh Tweets, first of all, are tweets from this week. Yeah, this week. The one in which you’re reading this. That is unless you’re reading this in the future. Then they aren’t fresh anymore. I also mean that they’re funny. They will make you laugh in a major way. And finally, I mean that you’ve never seen them before. Okay if you’re a Twitter hound, you might have, but don’t blame me.
