January 16 is the official due date. If you're posting a response after the unveiling announcement on January 16, please copy the link to your comment, click on the 'set 140' tag, and reply to the post 'Set 140 Responses Unscreened' with the link to your new comment-response. That helps people find and read and comment on responses that weren't there when they cruised through right after the reveal.
