The word "startup" is now a signal meaning something like "web 2.0 company that aims at acquisition or success via ad revenue" and not actually meaning what it used to mean, which I think is the source of confusion here.

i agree, when I hear start-up, I'm thinking new and the small guy, regardless of what industry. Either way I think of it in more of a time frame manner. That maybe a start-up period is 2 years long, after that they need a new name.
So yeah: size/profitability/number of years/etc all factor in. Kayak is borderline due to its size, but culturally and revenue-wise, they fit the prototype.
