There are various definitions, view and explanations about Semantic Web, its usage and its underlying architecture. However, the various flavours of explanations seem to have swayed way off-topic to the real purpose of Semantic Web. In this paper, we try to review the literature of Semantic Web based on the original views of the pioneers of Semantic Web which includes, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Dean Allemang, Ora Lassila and James Hendler. Understanding the vision of the pioneers of any technology is cornerstone to the development. We have broken down Semantic Web into two approaches which allows us to reason with why Semantic Web is not mainstream.

Social media is a pervasive part of our daily life. The debate about the pros and cons of social media is never ending. This project tries to focus on the positive impact of events in social media. We look upon events as a tangent that facilitates the connection between the digital world and the real world. We review the common advantages and disadvantages of social media. We then try to briefly understand the concept of events from various disciplines like philosophy, psychology etc. After which, we perform a comparative study of the features of common commercial extended social media applications like Bizzabo, CEvent and Eventbrite. This provides a clear understanding of how events in social media websites have extended into real world.
