British Man Tweets His Way to a Home Sale (Just Like Twitter Founder)

Twitter helped a man in Great Britain sell his house as a for-sale-by-owner, The Daily Mirror reported.

Peter Bouvier closed on the Southampton home about three months after his tweet -- that's after a real estate agent had been unable to sell it despite months of trying.

The Daily Mirror crowned Bouvier the "first person to sell his house on Twitter," and other outlets quickly followed suit. But is he really the first? And can tweeting really help sell your home?
