By that I mean, the no-follow aspect of Twitter and Facebook. Links from Twitter and Facebook are treated the same as any other link. If it is a reputable link, then it will gain you some link juice. However, the issue comes where some profiles on social networks are not public. If your profile on Facebook is not public, and can not be crawled by the search engines, then definitely you are not getting any link juice from it.

However, if your profile is public and the search engines can crawl your profile, then your links can be used to assist in the backlink building for your site.

Here is a video produced by Google’s Matt Cutts (with a new hair cut) explaining Twitter, Facebook links as well as .edu and .gov backlinks.
