Our cats tweet. Our plants tweet. And, with today’s economy being what it is, our houses apparently tweet, too – at least when they’re looking for new owners.

Having just played the real estate game myself, I’ve spent a (perhaps unhealthy) quantity of time recently looking at local homes on the Interwebs, and along the way one property kept popping up – not the seller, not the agent, but the house itself, strutting its stuff in the first person under the Twitter moniker 347WOODLAWNDR. (It’s got a Facebook page, too.) Of course, this isn’t the first time anyone’s sold a home on Twitter – the standout example being Peter Bouvier’s three-month experiment in finding a buyer for his Southampton, England house – but it’s the first I’ve run across locally, and the only inanimate object on my follow list.

And that’s one of the more interesting things about this house (OK, the fireplace is nice too): You won’t find the owners’ voice or presence anywhere at all on its Facebook or Twitter pages. It’s not even really For Sale By Owner – more like For Sale By Itself.

Somehow I doubt this approach would work quite as well for my old microwave, inline skates or all the other superfluous stuff I dragged down from the attic during our own recent move. (Though if you’d like to get your hands on either of the above, leave a comment and we’ll chalk that giveaway up to the power of social media, too.) But it’ll certainly be interesting to see how the story turns out for 347 Woodlawn Drive.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve purchased – or offloaded – via the social Internet?
