All I can think of is checking comments/feed/, following the links and checking to see if there's any nofollow in there. I want to build a database to upload but I'm not sure of a bulletproof way to check this yet.
 
Unfortunately, if there's no comments on that blog there's no other way to find out if comments are nofollow but to post a comment on that blog and wait until it gets approved and then check back. In automated way of course - either by custom coded bot or macro.

I found a wonderful way...

Think outside the box. :)
 
EDIT: Never mind, thought there's a different way :P

find the blogs - uwcs -- make a little script that goes through the results to check for the nofollow tag and filter them out with it ---

Well that's what I meant LOL...I have my own software that does that, only it gets all comments on page and and gets all links and check if they have nofollow attribute...just thought that there's faster way of doing it - because this is more time consuming even for the bot.

cant you use --- Terms you want to exclude (-) when doing you google search

Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want pages that contain this word to appear in your results. The minus sign should appear immediately before the word and should be preceded with a space. For example, in the query [ anti-virus software ], the minus sign is used as a hyphen and will not be interpreted as an exclusion symbol; whereas the query [ anti-virus -software ] will search for the words 'anti-virus' but exclude references to software. You can exclude as many words as you want by using the - sign in front of all of them, for example [ jaguar -cars -football -os ]. The - sign can be used to exclude more than just words. For example, place a hyphen before the 'site:' operator (without a space) to exclude a specific site from your search results.

FYI. There's a Firefox add-on that highlights the ******** or NoFollow status of hyperlinks.

Code:

I can guarantee that posting links on blogs is still effective. The only thing you need is High PR page and you are all set.

And you've actually tried it? LOL...blog spam was there since blogs appeared, only it used to be easier to rank high with those links.
