In other words, will he give back to the community? It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Scoble — will he be satisfied and content that he’s been reinstated and just move on, or (and it’d be much smarter to do this) become a bit of an advocate for users who don’t have the reach and influence that he does?

In other words, will he give back to the community?

He's his own best promoter and largely doesn't seem to understand that his first knee jerk reaction is neither a) the gospel, or b) a smart position. Personally, I agree with Jeremiah on this one - the friending process carries an implied trust and him trying to break the rules of the context of said trust in order to transfer my data to another context is out of line and I'm glad he was busted for it.
