I don't know that this counts as a startup. This is not to take anything away from it -- it's a brilliant idea, and well-executed; it has everything that makes a good startup good. It just isn't one in sort of a purely technical sense, in that it's a single product with a limited lifespan.
You're right in that its not a startup. I'm just kind of having fun and playing up a few responses from the original thread. The million dollar question here is this: is it repeatable? If so, then we've got a startup.

All in all, well done, though.

This is true. If you plan to keep doing this, then suddenly, it is a startup.
It's a start up the same way the 4-hour work week is a work week and the 4-hour body is a workout book :) In other words, brilliant satire!
