Check out thetimesharebeat.com while you can. According to the 11/24 edition, it is going out of business, apparently forced into bankruptcy by a developer who sued them for libel. It's a very interesting read. While the overall slant is clearly towards timeshare professionals, it's also the most honest look at the sleazy underbelly of the business that I've seen. I strongly suggest everyone read it, including archives, to really understand how developers, sales people, and resort managers think and operate.
