The club

Every member is an entity. Every real encounter is a link.

Entities Everywhere is merch for people who think in entities, and a club around it. The club keeps a small knowledge graph of who met whom, where, and who brought whom in.

The idea

A graph you can only fill in person

Search engines and language models understand the web through entities and the links between them. The club applies the same logic to its members. Your profile is your entity page. The events you attend and the people you meet are linked to it, and each link says how it was proven: a scan on site, or a confirmation from both sides.

Two members linked to an event and to each other attendee_of attendee_of met · SEO Summit · 15 Oct SEO Summit event No. 12 person No. 57 person
Two members at the same event: one records the meeting, the other confirms, and the graph keeps it with its date and place.

Join

Through a member, or straight from the site

  1. Scan a member's tag or badge, or open their link /e/<MID>. The member who brought you in is remembered.
  2. Leave your email.
  3. Type the code we email you, or open the link in the same email. It confirms your address and gives you your member number and your MID. Add your name on My badge.

Your MID is a short public identifier, eight characters. Your link /e/<MID> is both your profile and your invitation: whoever joins through it is linked to you.

Sign in

No password, a code by email

Enter your email, receive a six-digit code, type it in. The same email also carries a sign-in link, handy on a computer. On a phone, use the code: it keeps you signed in within the browser you scan with, which is what you want at an event.

You stay signed in for 90 days on that browser. Sign out anytime from your profile.

Your badge

Your entity page, with what you choose to show

Your badge lives at /e/<MID>. Add a name and your networks (X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, YouTube, Mastodon), and it lists the events you checked in at and the members you met.

Public or private, per section

Networks, events and meetings each have their own switch on My badge. All three start private.

See it as others do

My badge has a link to your public badge exactly as a visitor sees it.

Ways to add links to your entity

attendee_of

Check in at an event

Scan the event code on the club stand during the event.

met

Meet a member

During the event, record the meeting from their badge; they confirm on their phone.

referred_by

Bring people in

Share your link or your tag. Each member who joins through it is linked to you.

Meet at an event

Check in, and record who you meet

First live at SEO Summit, 15 and 16 October.

  1. Sign in on your phone before you go, in your usual browser.
  2. Check in: scan the event code on the club stand with your phone camera. It works only during the event, and adds the event to your badge.
  3. Open the other member's badge: scan the QR code on their My badge page, or tap their tag. Then tap I met <name> at <event>.
  4. Show them the meeting code that appears on your screen. They scan it and confirm. The code lasts five minutes and works once.

The stand screen shows the event leaderboard: who has met the most members. Someone without an account who scans your badge lands on it with a Join button. If they join, they are linked to you.

Your tag

Write your link into it, once

The tag carries an NFC chip. Put your link on it and most phones reach your badge with a tap, screen on, no app on their side: Android opens it, iPhone (XS and later) shows a banner to tap. Your badge page on the site shows the same link as a QR code for the camera.

  1. Install a free NFC writer, for example NFC Tools (iPhone or Android).
  2. Write a URL record: in NFC Tools, Write, Add a record, URL, paste https://entitieseverywhere.com/e/<MID>, then Write. My badge shows your link with a copy button.
  3. Hold the tag to the top edge of your phone (iPhone) or the middle of its back (Android) until it confirms. Test it with another phone.

Privacy

What you show, and how to leave

Your email stays private and is used to sign you in and to run the club. Each section of your badge starts private, and you choose what to show. A meeting appears on a public badge only when both members show their meetings. To delete your account, write to [email protected]. Details in the legal notice.
