I liked Twitter a lot and I stopped to use it after the nofollow stablishment. And I did the same with Wikipedia. If we think in the reasons of nofollow, it makes me nerve even more, due to the fact that only Google can gain and not anyone. The same with blogs. I own some to generate content and traffic and I wanted to dofollow it because I believe that this is a reward to the person that read my post and stopped by to say something. Of course I manage all my comments and this is the point that determine internet quality: personal control. Why nofollow every links if its so easy to flag a spam post, comment, hub, squidoo or others? I think that after you've written this excelent post we could see the results of Twitter's option: much less traffic, posts and comments. Spammers will always exist, with nofollow or dofollow.

Condom Man, that's it, nofollow =! web 2.0.

Nofollow is the antithesis of web 2.0. I think we’ll eventually get to the point where everyone uses nofollow and no one gives any juice to any one; an internet full of hermits.

If I voted for your site in Twitter rather than writing a full blog post, you wouldn't gain any juice though maybe a little traffic. Twitter is still allowing indexing of the content, without counting external links. Links are part of the content yet it is being modified without specific consent, and I don't even think that was announced, it was just discovered. On the flip side, I have also written that Twitter might be a legal liability for any kind of business use, so it just becomes an IM. Doug

I've been able to sore the front pages of Dutch social news sites on occasion, just by people voting for articles I had linked to in a tweet in Twitter. So for me there is also a significant traffic benefit, like you also concluded at the end of your article. Too bad that we lose the "vote of editorial approval" as you call is.
