Did the title for the submission not have enough room, or is there some other reason "Cofounder", which is what the original LifeHacker title reads, got replaced with "founder" here?

The link itself includes "founder", not "cofounder". Maybe he later updated the title...

  I really hate the prolific use of the term cofounder around here. Everyone who "cofounds" a business is a "founder". Otherwise you're the "sole founder" if you honestly feel like making a big deal about it. A founder is a founder, whether there is one or many.

    Exactly, nobody calls America's Founding Fathers the "Cofounding Fathers" of the nation.

      But you also wouldn't call any one of them "the founder of the nation", it works because the inclusion of "fathers" already states that they are a group.

        Of course you wouldn't say THE founder, you'd say A founder
