A long time back, the viewer had a 'Follow' option in the context menu
on other avatars. If I remember correctly, it was removed due to abuse
considerations. (Which I could never quite follow (sic), as this merely
facilitated something for everyone that a skilled human keyboard or
joystick-navigator could do manually anyway.)

That feature was quite useful when showing SL to a friend who had just
signed up and wasn't used to its navigation, yet. Having them follow you
as you showed them around much more natural than teleporting everywhere,
even for short distances. (Which might not have been possible back then,
anyway. I don't remember whether this was before or after point-to-point
teleports were introduced.)

Cheers,
Boroondas
