I'm new to this whole thing, but I've gotten the impression that it is less about throwing these words around as it is to create a sentiment, and strategically positioning the product at its centre--but I'm not suggesting that's what you're doing, I'd just like to get a little discussion going around this.

Does anyone know of an advanced online thesaurus? I'm looking for one that will give me not so common synonyms - I want to make my writing more advanced and learn new words!
I'm constantly using online thesauruses and finding their limitations to be shocking. It's like so few words under each word even though I know there are so many words that would fit, they seem to be limited to very common, contemporary words and even then there are limitations. Does anyone have access to a more stunning thesaurus?
http://www.wordnik.com seems to be the best online thesaurus, though one is presented with such a hailstorm of synonyms and near-synonyms and synonyms from divergent disciplines it can be rather overwhelming.
I've used it for several years, but recently found a thesaurus called "Artha" that sits on the desktop and is spectacularly well-designed. It's easy to find (just google "Artha thesaurus") and there are many places to download it from. I use it on Linux; hopefully it's available for other OS's.
I personally prefer a physical thesaurus for research... there's just a feel to it when crawling through topical sections I have not found online -- searching for a word online is just not the same as trolling through the sections and getting led along.
The 1911 version of Roget's Thesaurus is online and searchable. Being 100+ years old now, it could serve to provide the words you don't already know. I'd, of course, be careful about using antiquated words more likely to cause confusion than provide clariy.
