Depends on what kind of camera are you using.

1) PerspectiveCamera: is ok link that Mr.doob provides.
2) OrthographicCamera: is quite different:

var init = function() {
  camera = new THREE.OrthographicCamera( SCREEN_WIDTH / - 2, SCREEN_WIDTH / 2, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 2, SCREEN_HEIGHT / - 2, NEAR, FAR);
  document.addEventListener( 'mousedown', onDocumentMouseDown, false );
}

function onDocumentMouseDown( e ) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var mouseVector = new THREE.Vector3();
  mouseVector.x = 2 * (e.clientX / SCREEN_WIDTH) - 1;
  mouseVector.y = 1 - 2 * ( e.clientY / SCREEN_HEIGHT );
  var raycaster = projector.pickingRay( mouseVector.clone(), camera );
  var intersects = raycaster.intersectObject( TARGET );
  for( var i = 0; i < intersects.length; i++ ) {
    var intersection = intersects[ i ],
    obj = intersection.object;
    console.log("Intersected object", obj);
  }
}
