Have you every been annoyed by some of the posts of your friends that give you the minute by minute status of their day? Examples, “On the crowded bus”, “Walking to work”, “Sniffle Sniffle, Cough Cough” etc. Although a pet peeve, it looks like one such status, saved Rodney Bradford from going to jail. Rodney posted a status, that loosely said “Where’s my pancakes” from his father’s computer in Harlem at 11:49am on October 17.  The next day, he was picked up as a suspect in a robbery.  What was just an unusual FB muse, was now his alibi. 

For more details on the story, read The Local.
