Article Directories Is Dead- DP members what is our plan now?

Another shock given to SEO professionals by Matt Cutts, according to him "Don't try to build links through article directories" As this is been one of the most horrible news for all of us. So my question is what should we do now? I also need to ask if link building through article building is spamming than why they are supporting these article directories by allowing them to run Adsense ??? Digital Point member's share us you're views according to you what needs to be done now ??
