All of these programs / apps / sites etc. are new things. I would say that zeebox.com actually validates your work so far by showing there exists a market for it already. Plus, it is not a zero-sum game. You can both win (in terms of profitability, exit, etc.) If you are far along and will not need to spend much more money or time, go for it. If you have just started, maybe take a moment to think about it. Either way, you can just learn from zeebox.com mistakes and implement better with your own project. You must be realistic to know when to quit and use your time more wisely, BUT most startups don't actually die - they commit suicide. Good luck
