Bootstrapping isn't a new idea. Or way out there.

It's how small businesses around the world have, and continue to start their businesses.

Web startups, ironically are one of the fields that enable bootstrapping a lot more with the low overheads, and how much one or two people, or a small team can get done.

Of course. You're right. It's really about announcing the time, energy, sweat, effort, etc. you've put into it - and by announcing it I feel people in a way are celebrating it, that they are proud of it - which they should be.
