Can you pass social signals with a 301 re-direct?

Does a 301 re-direct pass social signals such as 'likes' 'tweets' and '+1s"?

Gee good question.

It was always said that link text and page relevancy was not passed thought a 301, but Bing say it is, but only though one hop., actualy just reading again, thats not what it says, it says "pass page rankings and other relevant data", so what is relevant data? buyt I can tell you it does pass link text , as test have ben dones, an easy test is to link with a keyword thought a redirect and see if you rank for it, oters have dones this and the result is a yes. bup page relevancy and otehr stuff? I can not tell you, it would be hard to test
