The 'my blog' entries are not highlighted as 'no follows' Can anyone else confirm if they are seeing the same on their linked in public profile web site listings i.e. listing a site in 'my blog' may actually be followed ? On a side note re facebook, i note that the first website listed in ones info section is now published on your public profile and isnt showing as a 'no-follow' hence i presume is a 'do-follow' ? Anyone able to confirm/comment ?

Dam it! To sum up my view: - Google has further proved how important links are for rankings by hounding large websites to convert to nofollow. - Twitter and FB did the same, after being hounded by Google. - But where are webmaster supposed to get link juice from these days? Now everybody uses twitter to share information, people are less likely to blog about a post by and link to your site! The introduction of "bit.ly" links simply sucks up link juice by getting in between the landing site and twitter. Link building has morphed again! Goodbye link baiting.............
