Currently, PRIVMSG is used within the channel, so it works differently than IRC, I believe.

It's possible to to send whispers to users, but not to receive them as a bot. Twitch uses /w <user> <message> to send whispers, but that lies outside IRC. There is currently no API available to access your private messages. The only solution, it seems, would be to have a headless browser login to twitch as the bot and grab the messages through the web UI.

Edit: It is not possible to do through IRC, but there is another API for this. See #22 .
