Latest Opinion On Using The No Follow For Page Rank Sculpting

Only reason I ask is that I just saw an article on Search Engine Watch (a link building 101 article) and they recommend the use of the No follow. Not something I would put in a linkbuilding 101 article given all the controversy, but that is just me.

So did the opinions on this change? Is it cool now to use the No Follow? I have done a search on the forum and read the threads, but I am just checking in because I no longer do only seo/sem 24/7?

Thanks in advance.
