Sentiment corpus

Found this and thought I’d pass it along to folks interested in sentiment/opinion/emotion research: http://www.cyberemotions.eu/data.html.

If you’re at an academic institution, they’ll give you access to a variety of things tagged with sentiments. What you’ll get is a tag that is the average from three human beings. That’s not really a lot, though that is typical in the field right now. Each has a  1-5 positive strength score and a separate 1-5 negative strength score.
