I am member of various online networking platforms, like LinkedIn, Xing and Plaxo, maintaining numerous contacts in each. I can export my connections in each platform in Excel lists each comprising at least 3 fields: Name, Surname, email.
I need a flexible software tool/application that will help me compare the members of 2, or perhaps more, lists and let me identify/extract non-common members.
One practical value of this list processing action is that it will help me invite people already connected in one platform to another one, avoiding invitations to existing connections in the second platform.
Could you please suggest me a suitable software tool (either free or commercial but not web-based)?

there are many ‘diff’ utils available on the web. Just search for ‘excel diff’ and see if something will suit your needs. Also, if you have any programing skills, this is something that can be done in php quite easily.
