Buffett has always resisted investing in technology companies because he says he can’t predict the future of those businesses the same way he can insurance or manufacturing.

He says even though he may not understand Twitter well, he knows it can’t be all bad because one of the company’s co-founders is from Nebraska.

Buffett doesn’t have a computer in his office, but uses one at home for research, writing and playing bridge online.

The Wall Street Journal reports Buffett’s Twitter account will take questions from Berkshire Hathaway shareholders this weekend.

According to CNN, Buffett joined Twitter “during a conversation about women and work with Fortune senior editor-at-large Pattie Sellers.”

His second tweet sends readers to a piece he wrote for CNN on why women are key to American prosperity.
