Thumbs down rel="bookmark" ? Please Explain
Hi Guys,

I saw a popular social bookmarking site using rel="bookmark" for all the out going links. Can anyone please explain me how different it is from the nofollow attribute ?

My Question is rel=bookmark treated as the same was as we use rel=nofollow ?

I think they're not treated the same as they appear on google when I check the backlinks of some other sites. I'm not really sure though...

Yes exactly that is the question, what is the purpose of this tag ?

Now you have a subject at here hand where we could chew the bark off of trees for a length period of time!

Here is the "official" definition for "bookmark" for "rel":

Refers to a bookmark. A bookmark is a link to a key entry point within an extended document. The title attribute may be used, for example, to label the bookmark. Note that several bookmarks may be defined in each document.

Sounds confusing. Perhaps this definition makes it a little clearer, here "kin" is used instead of "bookmark":

the referenced person is part of the extended family of the person represented by the current document

or maybe this one too where "acquaintance" is used:

the person represented by the current document considers the person represented by the referenced document to be an acquaintance

So I guess we can think of rel as "relevant to" ...

Make any sense?

Seems like all the social networks sites are using no follow now. Does anyone here have a list of sites that don't use the no follow?
