It's not a great choice though. The idea of horcrux is that any piece is enough which is basically exactly the opposite of what shamir secret does ;) It was a much better choice for a script with the same name I used a while ago that would duplicate backups on several storage systems.
Anyway, who cares about the name, it's a pretty cool website :)
Exactly (about it being the opposite of an "actual" horcrux). But this is not even the first (or the second) split-secret mechanism to make this same reverse analogy
Not to mention that there are already two other similar projects with the same name:
