Tech startups are about the tech.

What we need is a better word for startups on Techcrunch. "CRUD app + Graphics" or "local social 2.0 buzzword-compliant little companies"

While I think they are great (and I use and recommend their product) I don't see Wufoo as a "tech" company. They're like Zappos -- a Customer Service company that happens to be run from a website. That isn't a 'tech' company. It's just a company. Having a Building/shopfront and selling shoes doesn't make you a "real estate" company.

Tech Startups are startups taht actually have a technology to sell or a massive technological innovation. Companies like Isilon (had a $2.25B exit last year), or Google or Netscape or PrimeSense.
