What's the difference between SETI@home and SETILive?

Since the SETI Institute's new SETILive project launched, I've been getting lots of messages from people confusing the two, and trying to put the SETILive URL into BOINC and things like that. It's nothing new, we often get mistaken for them by donors who donate to the SETI Institute by mistake or vice versa. It happens. So let me spell out the main differences.

SETI@home is a distributed computing project run by the University of California (Go Bears!) that runs under the BOINC project management software. SETI@home uses your computer's processor when you're not to do analysis of data taken with the Arecibo and Green Bank Telescopes. If you've got a graphics processing unit of the right type, we'll use that to speed up the processing. To start volunteering for SETI@home, go to the BOINC download page to download BOINC. Then select SETI@home as your project.

SETILive is an entirely different project run by the SETI Institute. It gets its data from the Allen Telescope Array. Rather than using your CPU and GPU, SETILive uses your eyes. It will show you a segment of data in you Browser, and you'll mark any signals you see.

There's no sharing of data or credit between the two, or, of course, money. Of course, there's no reason you can't do both, since one uses your CPU and one uses your eyes, they aren't in direct competition.

A useful description Eric, thanks for clarifying the issue.

Thanx for clarifying that for us Eric:)
