Clueless as per usual. The nofollow value for the rel attribute has been around for SIX years now. How long is it going to take before you understand what it actually means????
ALL Search Engines actually do "follow" links that are "nofollowed" for the purposes of URI discovery. However links with a rel="nofollow" attribute do NOT pass any values on to the target page.

As per my knowledge only Google does not consider no follow links. Otherwise yahoo and bing consider it.
Then your "knowledge" is incomplete and inadequate!

I believe jackdalson may have a point there but it may have been incomplete, hence it got misunderstood. If you consider Wikipedia a reliable source of information then you have probably read already that Yahoo does "follow" the link even with the "nofollow" value for the rel attribute, BUT they don't use it in ranking the said site in the Search Engines.

If you are looking for seo the no follow has no value to you. But if you are writing interesting content or comments that might bring someone to your site. Then it does not matter as you got them to your site and that is what seo is all about.
If you take some time and do a little reading on Google webmaster blog....you will find that a mixture of links is the best for SEO...

Some sites set the links involved as nofollow to stop too much spamming information! Google will not follow this kind of link, but it may still do good to you,like bring some traffic to your wesbite. Yahoo is adopting a different backlink collecting way from Google. It is hard to say. Yahoo seems more professional in the backlink gathering work!
WOW!!
Do most folks post without reading a thread?
You gotta' wonder......
I think most people post after reading (but not understanding) the thread title, presumably in the belief that there's value in their sig links.
Mind you, Matt Cutts could personally deliver the Google algorithm on tablets of stone to some of the people here and they'd just tell him how to do it.
The rel="nofollow" attribute and it's use was a JOINT development by Yahoo!, Google and Microsoft.
