As a complete newbie to this Anoox social sharing community, I would be very interested to hear/see the honest opinions of regular contributors. So, firstly, have any of you tried the banner advertising, or any Anoox paid advertising and what did you think of it? Also, what do you think of the community in general? Is it better than Facebook, or Twitter, or Linkedin for social interaction?
My personal opinion is that social sharing sites like the above, totally restrict the amounts of people you can reach, unless you are willing to pay huge amounts in advertising. For example, I have nearly 30,000 followers on Linkedin, but am restricted to reaching a tiny percentage of those followers without paid advertising!

Also, would you consider it worthwhile becoming a Premium member on Anoox?

Thank you :-)
