No follow Links Are Counted by Other Search Engines Except Google or Not?

I have recently heard that google doesn't cound the no-follow link, but other search engines or directories like yahoo, bing, altavista, alltheweb etc. count it and shows the no-follow links as the backlink for your site.

is it really true or just a buzz around the web, can anybody explain?

No one can say for sure. The official word is that it doesn't, but many claim that No-Follow is still counted (though not strongly). Any decent link is good for SEO though for traffic etc.

From what I can tell is that nofollow links are in fact picked up by google, if you have google webmaster tools and check your backlinks you most likely will see links displayed there which do have a nofollow. However I don't think that you will gain any kind of pr juice or ranking boost from them, google is just letting you know that they know about those links.

very well said... but those nofollow links are still useful links because it can still drive traffic.

But doesn't that respond to the question? I mean, if webmaster tools sees the nofollow links, aren't those counted as well?
