dkeisen suggested over on a geeklist ( http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/17392) that it would be useful to have a tool that says what you own that someone else doesn't. That way, when you go over to Gamer X's house, you can quickly generate a list of what you own that they don'. Using the XML API I made a little web page that does just that:

Enjoy.

Cool stuff - great job!
Without diminishing this cool bit of programming, here's some more suggestions to fuel your next big thing:
- Reverse the rating order so we see what the other fellow considers his best stuff that we don't have.
- Include an option to show his games by my other differentiating attributes (combinations of the following):
>my ratings (settable rating threshold)
>games I've recorded plays for (number of plays threshold)
>games I've rated
>opton to group by each attribute checked
>on my want list
>games by year (settable specific year or range)
- generate the list across more than two geeks (unique among the members)

Best wishes to you all for 2011. xxx
Mostly offline, but trying.

This is great - thanks!!
I discovered that apparently I own 33 games that my husband doesn't - and he has 113 or so that I didn't.

Yep that was 12 Power Grid maps back to back over two days. Worth doing, but possibly not in such a concentrated burst.
Ooh yes, now a little to the left - my nose is itchy. No, no the other left! Now what colour is 12 supporter badge going to be I wonder?

And I discovered that Melissa doesn't own at least two of the games she thinks she does 
P.S. Great tool Matthew, thanks heaps!

Yeah, I'm a bit late to the party.
How easy would it be to allow you to add multiple people to the compare?
So for instance I could see what I have that no one else in my guild has?

This doesn't appear to be up any more, is this tool still available?
EDIT:
I found this:
http://bggtoys.appspot.com/compare
But it doesn't appear to be working. When trying to compare between two users (RHITMojo and Hobbes_Inc) I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise DeadlineExceededError(str(err))
DeadlineExceededError: ApplicationError: 5
Also, is there any possible way to update the tool to show you the difference between your collection and a guild's collection?
