Food for thought: Activity diagram for content cycle

In the interest of attempting to completely immerse myself in understanding the current information cycle paradigm, its successes, its gaps, its shortfalls and understanding as much as possible the future of content gathering, I have been striving to put things into perspective by way of one concise picture. Don’t confuse with me a traditional top-down, step-wise analyst, but I do believe every endeavor of value is capable of being modeled at some level. The future best-of-breed content gathering paradigms will not, in my opinion, lend themselves to highly detailed modeling. If that doesn’t jive for you, I suggest you are considering the dynamics and fluidity of content gathering and, most importantly, the incredibly diverse and mobile sources available.
Now that I have ticked off most classically trained process analyst (please notice I didn’t apologize), I wanted to offer a rough initial glimpse into a first draft of a highly bastadized activity diagram for the content cycle. Again, please don’t sling any arrows at me for taking massive liberties with the traditional thought patterns for activity diagrams (process flows) – I have no interest in validating myself with the analysts of the world. This diagram attempts to convey some important characteristics, including the speed of creation, the speed of dissemination from source, the need for synthesis and the timely interaction with content consumers with new packaging paradigms.

I would appreciate comments, thoughts and general feedback. Oh yes, please rember I am not a journalist, so forgive any of my trespasses – they aren’t intentional.
