Pretty novel effort I'd say.. I made the same mistake with speech recognition. I built out the product only to realize that the technology is pretty difficult to scale.
I've heard a great many fail and success stories and success, it seems, is built on failure... So keep failing and eventually you'll succeed, it's almost inevitable..
You seem to have a good grasp of what went wrong as well so it seems like you've learned a great deal from your experience.. That's what counts.
Good luck on your next venture and never give up.. It's in our DNA to build and so most of us have no choice but to keep doing it =)

Thank you for the good wishes :) It's now 6 or so years later and I hope I have acquired enough skills to at least be able to make new mistakes rather than repeating old ones.
