11. Ontology-Driven Sentiment Examples
Netbooks:
After some research through Consumer Reports I decided to purchase the ASUS Eee PC. So far this
netbook has been great! I love the small size yet the keyboard is still big enough to comfortably type my
papers on it. The battery life is outstanding and I can quickly browse on the internet. The web cam is
pretty good but if you take a still shot you have to be very still otherwise the picture will be blurry. Overall
this product is well worth the money and I would recommend it highly.
Banking:
“… does have terrible customer service . You are always getting the short end of the stick and banking
with them will cost YOU money. Banking with … is costly and you're better off trusting your money with
another institution. I agree with the post above in that you cannot trust them.”
Retail Fashion:
“My wife bought wedding shoes from J Crew via the internet. She told me that they were comfortable all
night and that I should include this in the review for other brides. Lol.”
