EXCLUSIVE - novelist Judy Astley on her journey with online communication

I met up with Judy Astley, bestselling novelist at Tate Britain recently. We've been Twitter friends for about a year and we caught up in person for the first time a couple of weeks ago for a chat about Twitter, social networking and the ways that writers can use these brilliant tools to find out about pretty much anything they want to online and much besides.

It was great to meet her and what really struck me was how much you can learn about someone via Twitter despite the limitations of 140 characters. Now Judy is self-evidently a very accomplished writer, but it did make me wonder if the condensed format of Twitter can actually tell you more rather than less about the Twitterer. Here's Judy with her description of her journey through various forms of online communication.
