This is nice! It makes me think of Idea generation cards which also have a deck to combine different brands and apps: http://bit.ly/1Ub4I7G Basically you can shuffle cards of many different themes and associate words to generate ideas. It's a good tool to enhance creativity!
Could see this being a fun tool for a hackathon. Have each team come up and hit the spacebar and then have to build something around the combo.
Could see a nice slot machine style animation really getting it to "pop," but definitely realize that could be pretty tough to implement and probably not worth the time.
Nice fun site! Congrats @MonsterCritic on the simple execution!

Nice little project. :)
How many individual startup choices do you currently have there (not counting matches)?
@autiomaa if my calculations are correct - there are 3403 different breeds

@monstercritic@autiomaa I don't remember the proper equation for permutations but it's something like X = n(n-1)(n-2) and so on depending on how many spots you have available and assuming you can't have the same one selected twice there are 6806 combinations. Can someone tell me if this is right? I need to brush up on my elementary math. smh.
@kenrossi@autiomaa My formula was ((n * n)-n)/2. I can't explain why is it so, but I figured it out with simple numbers: 2,3,4 and 5 elements). There is no need in combinations like Spotify + Spotify; and Spotify + Snapchat is the same as Snapchat + Spotify.

@monstercritic@autiomaa Ah, I duplicated. I didn't take into account about order. I had to look this up ... C(n,r) =
C(83,2) = 83 / (2 (83 - 2)) = 3403.
