The 76-year-old King was born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger in Brooklyn, New York. Before landing his gig with CNN, he held numerous radio and TV jobs. He rose to fame in 1978 as an all-night broadcaster. In 1985, Larry King Live was born. At some point in the fall, Larry King Live will die.

For Larry King fans out there — don’t worry, he’ll still be on the air. He reportedly signed a new deal with CNN to do specials. According to King, he was just tired of the nightly grind. The will be “giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids’ little league games.”

The biggest question mark rising from this news is with CNN. The network always had Larry King to fall back on, no matter what was going on. With the death of the Larry King Show, will CNN find a suitable replacement?

For the month of June, Bing is looking great by becoming the 13th most visited site in the U.S. with 49.57 million. This puts Bing ahead of Digg, Twitter, and CNN. While their ultimate goal is far from happening, their burst of traffic in the first month or so has been impressive. I believe their development team should work overtime and fast in hearing out all the positive remarks and do something on the negative items in their search engine. As long as they continue to read and address user comments, their growth traffic can grow over a long period of time.

Digg has received 38.96 million visitors, Twitter 23 million visitors, and CNN with 28.54 million visitors for June.

Have you used the Bing search engine lately?
