With the rapid development of Internet technology, the Internet has become an essential part of our everyday life. However, Internet can pose potential threats to government authorities, economic development or social stability in any country if false information, unsolicited or malicious public opinions are uncontrollably disseminated in large scale on the Internet, thanks to the attributes of low cost and anonymity of information exchange on the Internet. It is evident that an ineffective supervision and monitor of public opinions in the virtual cyber space can lead to serious social crisis or social instability in our real life. This paper is concluded by a summary of IPOMAS (Internet Public Opinion Monitoring and Analyzing System) implementation including the technical challenges, lessons learned and project outcomes through the lifecycle of the design, development and implementation of IPOMAS.
