  • Comment removed

  • google sucksss.just look at what they did 2 youtube

  • ---

  • heyy...thats sad really...i hope if u played the role,u get the credit... nywayz even i have such an idea,will u work with me..wat say ?? :P

  • fascinating video thank you :)

  • Prof. Mowani is a good teacher. He said what he said in TechCrunch out of circumstances. An email between him and me is shown on my blog. Go to "googletruth"."wordpress"."com­" and you will find the email communication between Prof. Motwani and me. Removing the '"' since youtube does not allow hyperlink in comment.

  • google can make you disappear. see my latest video

  • Why not build your own search engine then?

  • why would anyone waste time making their own search engine when google is already an illegal monopoly that the government wont do anything about.

  • why do u call it illegal ?? they have worked hard at it

  • This is certainly a truther video.

  • i learned about u in intro to comp. mantinence. is it true you made the whole thing

  • ??? intro to comp. mantinence?

    Sergey, Larry, and I collaborated to make Google plan.

  • Answer a few frequently asked question.

    Are you doing this because you want to get the record straight or get financial claims?

    ANS: Get the record straight.

  • wow , I believe you. I think it's really really hard for you. But can you do something to change their mind?

  • Answer a few frequently asked question.

    Why you tell it now?

    ANS: I tried to swallow it for years, it is hard; I would rather be dis-believed by others than be looked down upon by myself.

  • Please the algorithm public, found your concurrent company, sell the algorithm, make a project in sourceforge or ask your son to make a company like google.

  • You can't be out the adventure when you think it's not reasonable and in the game when it wins. Their is no patent for algorithms. If you deposit a Ph.D. it is in the public domain for science and humanity.

  • Interesting.

  • The focus point should be "Did Larry, Sergey, and Hubert communicate"

    and if so, what is it about?

    Of course we did not meet; otherwise, why have email in the world?

  • Google spokesperson response from TechCrunch:

    But in any case PageRank had already been developed by that time, and Larry and Sergey had already decided to start Google.

  • i believe u Hubert, only idiot would lie about this now, and u r not. Life is busy+changeable, and time flies, so it's possible 4 someone (like u) to tell the truth after a decade. We r talking about 10 yrs here, not 20 yrs. 10 yrs is not that long really. I come from an immigrant family as well, so I think I understand why you decided 2 pursue your PhD. Lastly, I hope the most important reason that motivates you 2 tell the truth is wanting to get the credit 4 what you did, not money. Good luck.

  • OWNED

  • I think it's the truth...

    Good luck with this very big problem with the "duo"...

  • You should've claimed this earlier. I don't think that many people are going to believe your story because so many years have passed since then.

  • What do you mean "suddenly"? If what he's saying is true, he has kept it to himself for 10 years, and probably because of people like you. He even mentioned that at the start of the video. Don't be so quick to judge someone you know nothing about.

  • You are lying. The AdWords and AdSense Modell was invented after/in 2000.

  • The model was to provide relevent ads. There were two ways at the time: one is search engine, the other is any webpage (doubleclick did that.). You have to wait your user base to build up before rolling out the service.

    The concept of serving relevant ads was there in 1997. Though we did not coin any phrase.

    In the video, I said ".... now it is called ..."

  • Interesting response from Prof Motwani. Mr Chang are you going to post an answer or something more about this subject? Or maybe some photos of your involvement in Google project?

  • Prof. Motwani has responded on TechCrunch

    To the best of my knowledge, his 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 the time.

  • My response:

    I respect Prof. Motwani; he is a wonderful teacher.

    When the video is posted last year, I did not tell Prof. Motwani because I thought it was between Larry, Sergey, and me. However, it is not respectful, I should have told him. My fault.

    In 1997 email communication, he was not a mail recipient between Larry, Sergey, and me.

  • I do recall receiving a couple of emails from Hubert Chang in 1997 or 1998. Its been such a long time that I dont have any recollection of their contents but its probable I shared those emails with Larry and Sergey. In any case, by that time the basic idea of PageRank was already in place and there was a clear intent of building a company around this. I am pretty certain that none of the three of us actually met with Hubert Chang during that time period

  • My response:

    When a professor shared several emails from other graduate student with his own, most likely the content has to do with their research.

    Prof. Motwani was probably surprised by the video when asked by TechCrunch because he was not aware of this video

    and perhaps missed something in his statement.

    He is a wonderful teacher; I respect him.

  • sorry to hear that.

    messed up story.

  • It's a mixed bag... what is his intention putting this up on youtube and what do the founders say about this? If he's trying to capitalize on the founding ideas... well it seems he did nothing to contribute to Google's success. Hopefully he's just trying to let out some old demons that have been haunting him, than try to soak Google for some cash. I would be disappointed if the founders denied it and it was later found to be true. Ditto playing semantics.

  • What did he not put his name on the paper? Even if he wanted to focus on his Ph.D, where is the harm in putting your name on it?

    Doesn't add up to me.

  • Putting the name on the paper would be a commitment to the project. There is no way you could finish a Ph.D. while doing that project. At least, that is my feeling. Neither of them have finished their Ph.D.

  • that is not true. Putting one's name on a research paper does not mean a commitment to a project... it means that one has contributed to the results of that particular paper.

  • In terms of academics, you are right.

    In terms what Larry, Sergey, and I had in mind, that means commitment.

  • Can I hire you? :D

  • Just noticed you added this video in Dec 2007 and half your comments are within the past week! A few within the past 24 hours. Looks like it's about to snowball...

  • Larry and Sergey made a sacrifice for Google by putting their Ph.D on hold. He was is the same position to do so. Where they suppose to to wait around until he finished his Ph.D? If that was the case we wouldn't have Google today as it is. Alledgedly, he even said he opted out of putting his name on the paper. And now he's coming out with this video 10 years later. I don't think Hubert Chang has much of any case at all.

  • Sorry dude, but...I think it's too late for it...

  • have you contacted larry and sergey recently?

  • Yeh man!! If you have done it with them!! You had a great idea!!

    But I still don´t know what is propousal with this video!

    Good lucky!

  • Why am I not surprised? You did the hard part of the job and they took all the credits. If you are a genius to create the "Google" it doesn't necesserelly means you have the ability to manage it, hit the "market place", "sell" your product and make a fortune. You done your job well and your cooperates should have done their job. But where are they? I don't blame you, it's not your fault. 99% of the most intelegent people in the world are weak in "real life" situations. I wish you luck!

  • Larry and Sergey did the hard job building the company. It is a lot of work. It is an admirable work.

  • Of course it is and now it's official and published on

    google *slash* tenthbirthday

    (can't post real URL here)

  • Hey! I'm just visiting your website and having this video around. I got a question to ask, if what you said in the video is true, I wonder what's your purpose to compose it upon? it it a trying to ask google for your rights? or just telling a probable fact?

  • Righteousness.

  • well i think you should keep on trying to contact them, you are entitled to a percentage of the profit they make. You are a computer programming genius, and im sure they could use your help

  • Thank you for encouraging contacting them. Maybe this video will reach them directly.

    There are many programmers better than me. I just have some good ideas from time to time.

  • Congratulations! You changed the world through masterminding Google! I am in complete awe of the fact that you invented PageRank! Thanks for making my life better!

    P.S. Hope you have a steady means of income

  • Dear Viggyiggy:

    Thank you for posting. You are the first who posts.

    Your thanks should also go to Larry and Sergey, because we worked and planned together, and to many others who made Google possible.

    Have fun in life and enjoy!

    Hubert
