SETI@Home has published a 'sky map' of the most promising places in the night sky to find radio signals:<br><br><table width="90%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" bordercolor="#63635A" bgcolor="#E7E7E2" align="center"><tr><td style="font-size: 12px; font-style: italic;"> In March, three Berkeley scientists set out to double-check the most promising signals found so far from the world's largest distributed computing project, SETI@Home. Following up on what is an equivalent of a million years of computation (or CPU units), their skymap of interesting candidates focuses on the pulses, spikes and steady radio signals that might be located near a star.</td></tr></table><br><br>You can find a fairly detailed article about it (as well as the map) right here:<br><br><a href="http://www.astrobio.net/news/article535.html">http://www.astrobio.net/news/article535.html</a><br><br>For those you (like me) who enjoy Slashdot's 'community' and the chaos that ensues there, <a href="http://science.slashdot.org/science/03/07/26/2034223.shtml?tid=134&tid=160">here's a link</a> to discussion about SETI@Home's sky map.
