Google has 3 founders?

Somebody just stepped in the scene and stated that he helped create Google with Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1997.  Hubert Chang claims that he was a 3rd daddy of the Google project back in the ‘97, explaining his work more in detail. The movie made by Chang starts like this: “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,” - Hubert Chang states

Chang states in this video that he became friends with Brin and Page through the Standford computer science professor Rajeev Motwani, who arranged the meeting of the 3 via email. Chang claims also that the PageRank is his creation, but Paige and Brin asked him back in September 97 if he would like to put his name on the academic paper describing the web page ranking algorithm.

While this video is posted on 1 December 2007, we are curious why Mr Chang pushed those informations to light now and more important, if they are true.
