General Description
============
The Avatar Information Terminal enables you to quickly and easily create custom lists of avatars to monitor without the need to create an SL Group or have them on your friends list. It is ideal for keeping track of customers, fans, club members, or other avatars of interest to you. The terminal can be used by the owner and an owner specified list of avatars such as staff members. It can monitor up to 100 avatars, show their online status, provide clickable profile links, or open an IM session. It can also notify lists of specific avatars via an IM and/or in local private chat when any of the monitored avatars' online status changes and/or they have an upcoming birthday.
NOTE: The Terminal is designed to be used when rezzed in-world, not worn or as a HUD. There is a separate version available that is designed as a HUD (Avatar Information HUD) that shows the list of avatars and their online status directly on the HUD face. It has the unique feature of giving you profile and IM links with a single click directly on the avatar's name on the HUD face. No need to type in a name or navigate menus to select the desired avatar. The HUD version is available from my in-world store or the marketplace:
