I like this quote best -
I’ve also come to loathe this mentality, at times. It’s the same mentality where someone whips up a two-page website and asks people to “review their startup!” I think startup is a phrase that’s been abused. You’ve made a project, or a mashup, or a hack, not a startup.
And that’s cool! Embrace that. More people need to do stupid shit. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Don’t do it to make money. Don’t even do it to learn hip new technology X. Do it for the sake of doing something stupid

- thewordpainter 16y ago"I think startup is a phrase that’s been abused. You’ve made a project, or a mashup, or a hack, not a startup" brings up a good point. at what point can we separate the real startups from the hacks? in general, the best startups are not started because of money. you'll lose track of the essence of what you're doing as money clouds your perspective. as guy kawasaki likes to say, "if you create meaning, you'll often create money"
