Do you know that you can  to turn your extra monitor into a news streaming device? GlowDart. Its a streaming service – decide what resources youre interested in and it’ll just stream a flood of data at you. With GlowDart  you can read the latest news as if they were a river that flows across your screen, from top to bottom. This site makes the expression “stream of information” come truly alive.

You can actually set down the channels that mean something to you from the “settings” menu, and you can also pause the stream at any moment if something catches your eye. You can choose news feeds from a variety of services like CNN, BBC, Digg, YouTube, Twitter trends and Hulu. You can also choose to display feeds from your Facebook and Twitter accounts. You also have the option to switch between a light and a dark theme and pause the stream whenever you feel like it.

The coolest thing about GlowDart is the ability to add your Twitter or Facebook account to it, so you can read updates in real time. The interface of GlowDart is polished and just the right size for viewing at a distance. Disappointing, however, is the lack of customizable feeds. the selection is limited to a handful of pre-selected feeds, including Google News, Twitter Trends and Digg. It would be nice if you could import your own RSS feeds, even limited in number, into GlowDart.
