Glenn's presentation highlighted just how important it is for journalists to become flexible in their skills. There's no longer a limit to what may come in handy as the industry is ever-changing. His use of excel was one example of how a software designed for accountants could be applied to data mapping and making sense of a large amount of information.
I also found the everyblock.com concept interesting in that it could give you a variety of information on the time, place, and type of crime, who committed it, etc. Which in turn could produce a story or enhance the specifics of one that you were looking into.
