Possible duplicate module

Follow module functionality is to provide the users the possibility to add their social websites to their profile. Adding a site's "follow" block is just an enhancement. Personally I find "On The Web" a better approach if you want only site web links. If Follow module was using separate submodules (one sitewide module and one per user links) then I would agree that this is a duplicate. But since that's not the case , On The Web is not really a duplicate. Not until Follow splits the two different functions into submodules at least.

I'll contact the maintainer of the follow module and see if we can join forces :-)
Thanks for letting me know about that one.

FWIW, it looks like the OP is now the maintainer of Follow and looking for co-maintainers. Still a chance to join forces?

I looked again at follow module, and it's really a different beast than OTW. Most of the sites I use this module on don't need per-user follow links, but if any did I would use that module instead of this one.

For sites that only need a single site-wide block, Follow has a lot of bloat. The only way to prevent a site from using the per-user follow links is to limit permissions, meaning all the code is still running all the time, even when it's not wanted.

The long and the short of it is that I think both modules need to exist, at least for the Drupal 7 lifecycle :)

That said, I have announced on the OTW page that there will not be a Drupal 8 version of this module, and people should look into using Follow for D8 (but sorry, no, I will not be interested in co-maintaining Follow for D8)
