This is just like the rest of the services, you have no idea what the company or website will eventually do related to their site rules and TOS.

*sigh*

Well, most of social bookmarking sites are now using nofollow. Maybe they are also controlling their pr juice not to pass to other site.

Yeah.. that's the whole point of having a no follow tag. Before we used this for two reason: 1. For link juice purposes and 2. For exposure to gain more traffic... But now they removed the do follow and change it into no follow.. That's bad news for us...

Twitter used to work, it was quite good actually not to long ago. I remember back when I actually got some decent traffic from twitter

Twitter doesn't work much, not sure why people would use it anymore.

Unless you sell a product, or just want to be cool and have a twitter account and what not it's pointless. Without being able to post links in certain areas what more is there too it?
