In this paper we present an approach to summarizing positive and negative opinions in blog threads.We first run a sentiment analysis system and consequently pass its output through a standard LSA-based text summarization system.Further on, we evaluate our approach and present the results obtained, which we believe are promising in the context of multi-document text summarization.Finally, we discuss the main issues in applying standard text summarization techniques to the slightly different task of summarizing opinions in blog threads.
