yes you can get backlinks from social networking sites..
# Use Meta Tags and URLs to your advantage
#Produce new content regularly
#keep your status messages and updates related to the line of your company’s work or the industry you are in.
#Post links(links always count)
# Have as many friends as you can as more followers or contacts mean that your webpages have more authority.

in such social services as facebook, twitter, digg (it means GOOD sites) that have "nofollow" tags can't influence your SERP or PR. but it gives you a traffic. a lot of traffic

As i know social networking sites are used for getting traffic. i have no idea that it provide backlink.

That backlinks would not count for your PR because major number of social networks are nofollow

to make back links from social networks, you just have to place your links there, nothing special

[iwillguide]

i think do follow social net working sites are really helpful to your site optimization. you can try to create back links from high page rank social net working sites which are do follow in search engines.

Yes that is possible but believe me, writing articles on your own blog will generate a better outcome in the long term because through Google blog search, your posts will be picked by the interested webmasters and then some free links will be gained in the near future. Social bookmarking sites are still wonderful however, they are strong to generate traffic for websites.

Social Networking sites are mainly considered to generate traffic even though they are nofollow. Top social networking site like Twitter, Digg etc are nofollow but you can gain more web presence.

Yes, social networking sites would also give you back links but most of them nofollow this is the main thing.

However, you can post blog with your profile and that blog may be posted by other webmasters giving you back links as well.
