SAN FRANCISCO -- Web 2.0 Summit -- While waiting for AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL)'s newest CEO Tim Armstrong to take the stage today, Summit attendees were surprised with a visit by Sergey Brin, founder of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), who apparently decided to show up unexpectedly.

"I didn't say no," Brin said to Federated Media's John Battelle. "I just didn't RSVP."

Hmm. Some might call it a bit arrogant for someone to assume such a level of importance as to just show up at a conference, completely throwing off the course of the afternoon session, because he couldn't be bothered to RSVP...

Butttt, moving on...
