Here’s how to block them:
Click on “Privacy Settings” under the “Account” drop down menu (top right hand corner)

You can enter the names of friends to block event invites from.
After signing up to Fiverr, I decided to give it a try.
Someone with a somewhat copyright infringing username of Twitter offers:
Twitter: I will sell you 100 real Twitter Followers for $5
(http://www.fiverr.com/users/Twitter/gigs/sell-you-100-real-twitter-followers)
There were plenty of others offering the same, if not more followers, but they required your username and password, and would just follow hundreds of people, in the hope of a reciprocal follow.
However, this one seemed different.
Just over £3.30 for 100 new followers? Great feedback? It seemed too good to be true, so I thought I’d lay my $5 on the line, and give it a go.
I placed my order, and around an hour or so later, had confirmation he had begun.
Within a few minutes, I started to get email notifications of new people following me.
It seemed to be working!
25 minutes later, the emails dried up, and I assumed it was completed.
I checked my followers, and, to my amazement, I had 135 new followers!
Some were particularly random, no tweets, following loads of people etc (suspect- FAKE) but there were a few active tweeters in there.
I @ replied some of them, asking how they heard about me / why they started following me, however have not got any response
All in all, did what was said on the tin. I got over 100 followers. Using who.unfollowed.me I saw that about 15 of these unfollowed me within a week.
New marketplace Fiverr allows you to outsource those small tasks you may have, for a fixed fee of $5 (aprox. £3.30 depending on how the exchange rate is behaving)
Fiverr allows people to list things they would do, for $5.
In return, Fiverr takes $1 from the value of the order, leaving the person providing the service with $4.
This can be withdrawn from the account, once they have accumulated $40 or more.
As you would imagine, there are plenty of weird and wacky offerings, or “Gigs” as they are called by Fiverr.
However, there are hundreds of potentially really useful things available.
For example:
genelors: I will setup a WordPress blog and configure your domain to it for $5
landee: I will be your personal assistant for 1 hour for $5
mzzedithandlucy: I will give you a 1/2 hour Juggling Lesson over Skype for $5
Payment is handled through PayPal, making it nice and easy to use.
When you place an order, you have to pay upfront, and then the order is fulfilled.
Just in case, there is a dispute procedure – but it’s unlikely you’ll ever need to use it!
So you can be sure of a timely delivery, there is a handy “number of orders in queue” displayed below the order button.
You can also contact the seller to clarify things before you part with your $5.
I for one, will be outsourcing some of those niggly little tasks to Fiverr.
Such tasks as resizing photos, installing WordPess etc… are perfectly suited!
