While we nerds may best remember LeVar Burton as a VISOR-clad Starfleet officer, he also spent much of the 80s and 90s instilling in children an appreciation for reading. In fact, Burton is still stuck to the idea of encouraging childhood literacy -- he launched a new company called RRKidz this past September that's currently working on (among other things) a "disruptive" new iPad reading app. But when the time came to set up the all-important Twitter account to provide "the latest info on the upcoming relaunch of [Reading Rainbow] as an app," he found that someone had already laid claim to the @readingrainbow handle. What's more the account owner hadn't so much as made a peep in the last three years.
