Third Google co-founder - Hubert Chang - Cant Accept Now .....

The whole world cant accept this.... Hubert Chang may not be a name familiar to you but if his claims are true, then hold your breath: Google has three co-founders and not two. In a video message posted in Vimeo.com, a video-centric social networking site, Hubert Chang claims he is one of the co-founders of Google, alongside Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Chang said he helped Page and Brin come up with the name Google way back in 1997 and even helped them set up the PageRank, Google's business model. However, instead of jumping into the new venture, Chang said he chose to pursue his Ph.D. at New York University (NYU). Chang claims that in 2002 he got in touch with Page and Brin and told them of his interest in getting involved with Google. However, he said, he was rejected . Chang said he is aware that many people would think of him as insane or a gold-digger or as someone who wants his two seconds of fame. "After viewing this tape, some people might think I'm lying, some might think I'm crazy, some might be upset, while others will consider I'm honest. But the tape has to be made,"   In the video Change recalls how he was introduced to Page and Brin by Stanford computer science professor Rajeev Motwani in January 1997 and how the three of them began to work together on the search engine that would grow to become an Internet search giant in the modern world. Today, Google Inc. has a market capitalization of $138 billion and Page and Brin are worth $16 billion each, according to Forbes.   Hubert Chang's video was uploaded way back in 2007 but has begun circulating tech sites recently in a big way after Google turned 10.   Chang's claim, however, has been discredited by the Stanford professor himself. "To the best of my knowledge, his (Chang's) claims about being a founder of Google, coming up with the name and/or the business plan etc, are completely unfounded in reality. I am sure I would have noticed a third founder, if one existed, since I was working closely with Larry and Sergey at Stanford at the time," Prof. Motwani said.   Source
