LeVar Burton Gets Control of @ReadingRainbow In Record Time Dan Koelsch, February 1, 2012February 1, 2012 For those too young to remember it in its heyday, Reading Rainbow was a PBS television show hosted by LeVar Burton. The show used kids from the target demographic to encourage reading among children and has become a nostalgic classic among us Eighties babies. The Twitter handle @ReadingRainbow had been taken by someone not using it, but no one stops Geordi La Forge from getting what he wants. Just yesterday morning, Burton tweeted to the account in hopes of grabbing the handle to promote a new Reading Rainbow App he is developing.

If you want to keep up to date on the Reading Rainbow app, I suggest you follow the Twitter account. Apps Social Networks Viral News LeVar BurtonReading RainbowTwitter
