I just saw this article on TECHCRUNCH.....
Ten Years Later, A “Third” Google Founder Comes Out Of The Woodwork
by Erick Schonfeld on September 23, 2008
 
Just as Google is celebrating its 10th anniversary, a man claiming to be the “third” founder of Google has come out to stake his claim to history. In the video above, a man calling himself Hubert Chang claims that as an NYU Ph.D student in 1997 he was introduced to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin by Stanford professor Rajeev Motwani. He then helped the two come up with PageRank (the underlying algorithm that powers Google’s search engine), the name Google, and even the business plan.

I wonder why he waited so long to come out. Even if its true. He was not part of what made google what it is today. Having an idea and being able to grow it into the company it is today are two different things. The world is full of people with good ideas, who dont ever do anything with them.
 
I wonder what he wants ?
