I read through the threads and I don't understand what the follow strobe is, and why it's different than any other method of follow.
There are three types of follow used in multiboxing that I'm aware of...

1 - /follow macro. You want the minions to follow, you press this once.
2 - /follow macro combined with /follow after combat mod. You press follow once to start, and follow after combat automatically refollows if you end combat.

These two are very common and nearly everyone I know uses them.

3 - /follow executed programatically from a UI mod on a timer. (Strobe). You tell your toons to start following, and every N seconds they issue the /follow command on their own thanks to a cleverly written UI mod. This is completely within the blizzard UI and not using any 3rd party application, and has functioned in this fashion since before wow went retail.
