Waukegan, Ill. (January 14, 2010) We are excited to launch "Yaskawa" on Twitter and would like to invite you to follow us at http://twitter.com/yaskawa. Twitter is a simple but surprisingly effective and addictive way of communicating. You are restricted to 140 characters per message, but thanks to Web technology those notes can be easily written and uploaded and then shared and downloaded, making it very effective at spreading small snippets of information quickly. We will be providing quick updates on work Yaskawa is doing - highlighting an official announcement, announcing new products, or pointing out something of particular relevance, such as recent videos on energy savings and MotionWorks IEC.

Second, we would like to invite you to join our "Yaskawa Electric America" group on LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2415883. Groups are designed for you to get real-time information from peers and experts regarding VFDs and Motion Control, safety trends, events, and products. Share information, opinions, and best practices that focus on current technologies and products used in various applications. The Yaskawa Electric America group is designed to share information, opinions, and best practices with a focus on current technologies and products used in industrial control and automation.

Finally, we would like to invite you to subscribe to our "Yaskawa " channel on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/yaskawayea. YouTube is the world's largest online video community - discover, watch, share, and comment on videos across the Internet through websites, mobile devices, blogs, and e-mail.
