Enjoyable article. I'm sure it doesn't matter a great deal, but I was interested to see that the Fred. Olsen & Co. web site is nearly as spartan and antique-looking as Berkshire Hathaway's: http://www.fredolsen.com http://www.fredolsen.com vs. http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ (The former looks like they did briefly employ a web developer once, perhaps in the late '90s, while Berkshire Hathaway's suggests to me that Mr Buffett may very well update it himself.)

I once tried to interview Warren Buffett and was connected to his personal secretary, who very kindly said it was unlikely to happen. No phalanxes of PR folks, just her. Maybe she updates the site for him. :) To respond to your spartan web page point, let's compare the page load times vs. Apple.com, which most of us might agree is beautifully done. Berkshire Hathaway speed (Google PageSpeed): 99/100 Apple.com speed (Google PageSpeed): 62/100 Berkshire Hathaway speed (via Pingdom): 476 ms Apple.com speed (via Pingdom): 1.68 sec There's something to be said for a 3.4KB web page...
