It appears Hillary Clinton will now wait until the spring of 2015 to announce whether or not she will run for president.
Clinton previously suggested that she would make the announcement shortly after the New Year.

From the Washington Post:
Clinton is also debating whether to establish an exploratory committee — a placeholder organization that would allow her to raise money to pay for consultants, office space and other operating expenses. But the move would trigger financial disclosures she can now avoid, and Clinton is getting a lot of advice against forming such a committee, two Democratic strategists said.
Hillary is currently contracted to deliver speeches through March for which she will receive compensation. The last of her scheduled speaking engagements will take place on March 19 when she will address the New York and New Jersey chapter of the American Camp Association.
Clinton’s strategists, of course, are not recommending she continue to deliver paid speeches should she announce her candidacy.
“There is quite a consensus that she would not be giving these paid speeches once she becomes a candidate, and that is appropriate,” explained a friend of Clinton.
If the former secretary of State does decide to run, the group Ready For Hillary — which sells all kinds of expensive Clinton-themed paraphernalia — plans to shut itself down.
So, you better buy your Hillary champagne glasses and dog collars while the group is still selling them.
