Papers
- A_Sentiment_Detection_Engine_for_Internet_Stock_Message_Boards Christopher Chua, Maria Milosavljevic, and James R. Curran. 2009. A sentiment detection engine for internet stock message boards. In Proceedings of the Australasian Language Technology Association Workshop 2009.

Method
Dataset Used
- Chua et al in A Sentiment Detection Engine for Internet Stock Message Board used the data set HotCopper and collected posts between January-June 2004. This corpus is based in Australia.
- Gilbert et al. in Widespread Worry and the Stock Market used two data sets: theLiveJournal blog data set and the S&P 500 data set. Both data sets are US based.
Overall, the papers used similar data sets and the primary difference was the geographic location of the blogs/discussion boards. Since these are financially focused forums, the geographic difference would indicate that the posts from the HotCopper is mostly from residents of Australia and the posts in the LifeJournal blog or S&P are primarily from the US. But this does not limit either corpus to those two regions as the bloggers can part-take in either web site.
