    I am setting up a website and before something is published to my twitter account I would like to moderate this? Is this possible to do. Also can I deactive my twitter account as well after.

    I am setting up a facebook page and I want to have total control ( if that is possible) about what is published to the page and what photographs I am tagged in.

    If I set up the page as a group page is this possible. Is it possible when I set up the page as a group that I can moderate what is published to the page?

    Who's doing the tweeting? Why would you need to moderate it? (If you trust the person responsible for the Twitter account, you shouldn't have to). You can't really moderate Twitter responses to you, so if you are planning to display them "live" on your website there is a certain amount of risk involved unless you find a solution. (See what happened to Applebee's here:http://rlstollar.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/applebees-overnight-social-media-meltdown-a-photo-essay/, specifically about the live Twitter widget they had on their site..)

    You can deactivate your Twitter account at any time, but again..why would you? If you're trying to build up a brand presence, it doesn't make sense to do that and then delete the account.

    You can't premoderate Facebook pages in that way. Groups are not the same as Brand pages.

    For twitter , I want to ensure that if anybody replies to a tweet that I have sent or tweets to me , that I can moderate it before it appears on my twitter feed. I am going to have the twitter feed as a widget on main website.

    With regards to Facebook, is there any page , groups, brand page etc, that can be set up so that I can moderate or turn off tagging and moderate any comments that are sent to my page before they are published. I want to ensure that if I set up a facebook page that the comments are all moderated before they can be published. Send me a pm if necessary and i will explain.

    There's very little point in a widget that isn't live. TBH I don't see much point in them at all, but that's another debate. I'm not aware of any that will let you pre-moderate anyway, though someone else may.

    Again, not that I'm aware of. FB has some certain filters for pages (language etc) but for the most part on pages, you'll end up post-moderating. You can put certain terms on block, and turn on a profanity filter. Otherwise, you can turn off the feature that shows other users posting about your business/adding stuff etc..but there is no way of leaving it on, and putting stuff in a queue for approval. You'ld have to review it after it goes live.
