I still try to make a point to backlink via Twitter, Facebook, Freind Feed, Mixx etc. They all show up high in my GWT. I realize they are no follow but they are from PR6-9 social networking sites and I think they account for something. I am obviously not saying I do not look for dofollow's. I just believe its important to include the big dog social sites and not shy away from getting links there as well.

No follow also help in search engine rankings. The no follow links can avail or help your website to get white chit or trust from Google crawler. They are equally important as do follow link.

I dont agree with above post, Nofollow doesnt give any advantage on seo. Just for traffic purposes, the page can be spidered, but does not count as a vote for your site.

Finding those links in webmaster tools says nothing about Google following or not following no-follow links.
Google can check the referer of a visitor to your site, without ever following that link.
Google does spider nofollow links, like those on twitter and wikipedia. But like said, does not pass any link energy. I think Google should clear up the nofollow attribute, they shanked a lot of webmasters by changing the implementation.
Nofollowing your shopping cart or calender should never make Google follow it. Now it isnt a good strategy to rely on nofollow alone, but no-index those pages, as competitors could still link to them without nofollow. But that makes nofollow near useless, and even bad to use on internal links, because it adds to the page link total, without spending more energy on dofollow links.

NoFollow and Social Media
Given that so much of social media uses NoFollow (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc) I suspect Google will have to review the monster it has created. If Google truly nofollows all the social media links how does it create its social graph.

Nofollow links wont help you in Google by any ways. Its displayed in Google webmaster tools but not as your backlinks as they are not dofollow and so no passing of pr juice or any effects in serp's
Nofollow will help in other search engines like Yahoo, counts all backlinks found pointing to your site whether it be dofollow or nofollow
Del.icio.us
Digg
Google
Spurl
Blink
Furl
Simpy
