I joined the Do Follow Movement as well.

In case you haven’t heard about the Do Follow Movement, it’s a movement which has started among bloggers to help each other out by removing “nofollow” tag from the comment’ section. The “nofollow” idea was started by Google back in 2005 - Preventing comment spam. They thought this will greatly reduce spam on sites - blogs especially, but after 2 years now there aren’t signs that spam is dead . Blog software providers including Wordpress, Bloggers, LiveJournal and others have supporting this by default since then. Other than blogs, Wikipedia had been suffering from link spamming as well. Basically everyone is allowed to freely edit or add links to it. This led to Wikipedia introducing the nofollow attribute to all its external links.

The other side of the story is that all major search engines will not use in their PR algorithms the link that has this as attribute: rel=”nofollow” - Google will not even crawl that page…
