Coming soon, or already here?

This article talks about how spam is, within a year, going to start being more focused on the user, more personalized towards the target. Based on where it found your email address, it will use different tactics to get through your filters.

This is already happening to some extent, and I already wrote about contexual spam here and this is already in place. I can only assume that the "within a year" reference implies that the techniques will get better and more widespread. As it is now, it seems there is a small group of spammers doing this, and if it is working, more will pick it up soon.
