Sure, it might take some of the fun out of the game, but hey, you can’t say Google isn’t out there trying to solve the world’s problems. (As long as they are in 9 by 9 squares that is)

If you deal with data on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis, and if you haven’t heard of Google Refine v2, you are in for a treat!
Excel has it’s uses, and it packs quite a few functions, but when dealing with messy data, it often takes more steps, more hacks, and more time to deal with excel spreadsheets than it is sometimes worth. Google Refine isn’t a replacement for Excel, but it sure is a powerful tool to supplement data related activities.
You can download Google Refine and start using it locally, so your data is safe. The more technically inclined you are, the farther you will likely go with Google Refine. One of the best features is the ability to call and link to databases, and apply a series of complex actions to multiple sets of data to accomplish the same result on a different, but similarly structured set of data.
