This is a good topic. Not all inbound links are of the same value. Google likes to see links from lots of different types of domain names, so the links appear to have been build naturally. A heavy number of social media links often represents that your content is good enough to be tagged on social media sites. However, these links are not strong in the sense they are linking from low, or no page rank, pages. So while they are good to have such domains pointing to you, Google does not see twitter links as powerful one way links.

Google may ignore links from Twitter Tweats, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t ignore links from your Twitter profile. I’ve only been on Twitter a month or so, but my profile page has a PR2.

PR6 and it’s a dofollow link

While it’s true that twitter is a more convenient medium for linking, it does create a problem in that links on twitter, or any social network for that matter, tend to be a lot less permanent than links on static web pages. This has the effect of making throes links worth less than static links (not only are people not going to see them in an hour’s time, but they tend to be rel=nofollow links as well)
