Companies that are using social networks as a strategic marketing channel to reach and correspond with potential clients, can use virtual workspaces to organize incoming correspondence from multiple web based marketing communication programs into a central marketing team database.

When social networks are used to reach online audiences it is beneficial to be able to combine the information from multiple networks into a single workspace. Strategic online marketing based communications software provides marketing teams with a central private workspace where information from a social network based marketing campaign can be collected, sorted and organized. Marketing teams can connect information to calendars, build contact lists, and save relevant files or other strategic marketing material into the online marketing database. 

Applicant manager software like http://applicants.wizehive.com from WizeHive provides additional tools to help marketing companies monitor their strategic marketing initiatives like three-dimensional project layout displays that allow data trails to be sorted and viewed by source, value or other criteria.

Web based marketing groups can use these online virtual workspaces to gain a perspective on the nature, source and types of audiences it is attracting from different points across the web. Social network communication like tweets, status updates and branded company references can be forwarded to workspaces as notes or updates from blackberries, i-phones and computers.

Once added to the workspace, data from social networks like Twitter or Facebook can be added to the workspace for sorting, organizing and ranking as is needed for the campaign. Marketing managers can use desktop clients to watch as information is being updated to the marketing based workspace.

Marketing based applicant manager software is a new type of project management software like that provides marketing companies with strategic business tools to help plan and company projects and activities.
