Possibly you could put things on hold for a while and return to it when you feel more capable of giving it some time. Is there a great rush to get to market or could you ignore it for a month, enjoy the occasionally nice weather were having and come back refreshed? I'd have thought (although could be wrong as I've no experience of it) that selling a project in the state you describe will be tricky/impossible. I'd also assume one of the big issues with a video sharing service is the bandwidth required and hence potential costs of running such a service. Unless you've got a believable revenue model to cover the expected costs anyone buying your project is still going to be looking at further outlay before they might see revenue. Sorry, a pretty depressing summary, possibly you know something I don't about your situation which mitigates some or all of the above. Seriously though, if there's not a real urgent rush. Take a break, recoup, and come back with a fresh perspective in 2 to 4 weeks. It may be time to chalk it up to experience or maybe things will still be able to come together for you when you're better placed to face the challenges.

firstly, THANK YOU for you reply. There has always been a rush to market, unsure why but I wanted to get in on the act before others did. Justin.tv may have trialed a similar service although I am unsure what exactly they attempted to do. I believe you are correct in saying the project WILL require further outlay. The hosting, iphone app and API's have been created, but the site will need to be re-created and additionally integration with a streaming provider will need to be setup/negotiated, which again may require some outlay and possibly long term OPEX. On the positive front, the site API's have been built to accommodate a completely new revenue model. The model is the key to the update of this service. None of this section of the site is created, which will probably fall foul of abuse here as it is simply at the idea/design stage. What I have decided is that creating such a start-up at this stage in my life and dedicating time to it will be very difficult due to other commitments...personal health and new child to name but a few!
