OK To Include http:// In Your Links?

I have always put this when ranking my sites but looking at results on Google they always only show the www. part of the address. Will linking with the http:// hurt me in any way? Should I swap my link building strategies to point at just the www from now on or keep consistent?

Thanks

I notice that Google's ranking of my site doesnt include the http, should I just omit this part from future link building?
