Sentiment Analysis at PayPal Using RapidMiner

Founded in 1998 and acquired by eBay in 2002, PayPal is the faster, safer way to pay and get paid online, providing simpler ways to send and receive money around the world. With 143 million active accounts in 193 markets and 26 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global commerce, processing more than 8 million payments every day.
