They're not really a startup since they only accept donations, but I loved the idea so much I made my own version which does not randomly assign a string but instead allows users to pick their own phrase: http://www.oneryng.com

You may want to disallow reassignment, or at least detect circular assignments.

Disallowing reassignment would leave a finite amount of (useful) keyphrases; my business model is to charge for people who wanted to keep their keyphrases for a duration of time.

Maybe I should make that more clear...

Detecting circular assignments is a great idea though, thanks!

I wish you luck, but I can't help thinking rickrolling, goatseing, and spamming other people's links will be a problem.
