Google Had Its “Third” Founder, But It Was A Mistake
Google just celebrated its 10th anniversary,then they were someone out from a nutshell claiming that he was the third founder for Google, obviously.
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.
So why wasn’t his name on the original PageRank paper? Because, he says, he decided to pursue his Ph.D instead. Then when he did finish his Ph.D n 2002 and contacted Google, he got the big brush off from Larry and Sergey’s handlers. (Surprise, surprise). Remember, boys and girls, always ask for a byline.
But the truth is, he walk out because he didn’t think it will worth too much at the present, and likely, it was his mistake.
