To my knowledge (and I might be wrong, but this is what I understand to be
true):
- there is a limit of 250 DMs per day for a user account, blanketly
applied. Whitelisting for an application has no effect on this limit. This
isn't an API limit. It's a limit for a Twitter user. A twitter user could
contribute to their allocation by using the website or an API client.

I'm trying to find a reliable source for whitelist limits for Direct
Messaging. I looked through the direct messaging limits and best
practices for individual services? thread - http://bit.ly/cLVv1Q but
there weren't any authoritative descriptions of whitelist limits.
What I'm looking for is:
1. DMs allowed per user per hour, and per day - (Where user is defined
as someone using an app).
2. DMs allowed per app per hour, and per day
I saw that Doug Williams had said that whitelisted users get 5000 DMs
per day, but didn't specify whether that was an app total or a total
for a random user using an app for DMs. The hourly limit for
whitelisted apps wasn't specified at all.
