The latest time-wasting addiction known as Twitter has found its way to the Nintendo DS through homebrew. If you lack a smart phone but do have a DS and you'd like to take your Twitter addiction with you when you leave home, have no fear, DSTwitter is here! But, there are a few problems Twitter addicts may have when trying to add DSTwitter to their vast array of 'homebrew' stored in their flash carts.

The first problem would have to be that the app is in Spanish, making it slightly more complicated to figure out what to do if you don't speak Spanish. Luckily, those folks at Mashable have provided some simple instructions on where to download the application.

"Prepare a memory card (R4DS) and the DS's WiFi connection.

Register to the Scene Beta website. Username and email required.

Download the DSTwitter 1.3 .RAR file, you can find it on the Scene Beta website. Extract the contents "in the root of the memory card."

Input Twitter login. Run the program."

Ta-da! You've got one of the most useless Web 2.0 fads on your Nintendo DS! Although it is kind of fun.

Thanks to RMC for the heads up yesterday, I think.

To me, IMHO... it's another internet fad. Just like Myspace & Facebook.

It could be even worse than those two. Just without, you know, the camwhores.
