This trend needs to change. There's too many guys out there running Wordpress blogs on shared hosting plans and/or making Android (or iPhone) apps, just to call it a 'start-up'...my Facebook friends list is full of these guys, calling themselves with ridiculously random titles like CEO/Founder/Co-Founder/MD of <insert-wordpress-blog_or_mobile_app_here>
Back in the days, a start-up was something different, something the society looked down, you know...a real challenge (which is why the society looked down). Today, the scenario is like as if its cool to run a Start-up (and fail).
X: "Hey dude, I run a startup..howz about you?"
Y: "Cool story bro..I runz one too..wanna be my co-founder?"
X: "sure thing bro...right away"
[now X can call himself a 'Serial Entrepreneur' because he sabotaged his old start-up for a new one]
