Couple of quick questions about Google Reader

    -- What is the difference between marking something as shared by
    clicking the 'Share' button at the bottom of a post, versus marking
    something as 'Starred' and then making sure that the 'Starred' tag is
    marked as 'Public' from within Reader's preferences?

    -- Why doesn't typing a Question-Mark (?) on my keyboard show the on-
    screen keyboard shortcuts list, as it does with Gmail?

    -- Is there anywhere in Google Reader where I can browse popular
    feeds, or something like the Bloglines 'Top 1000 Blogs' list?

    -- How long do posts that I've starred, or marked as shared, remain in
    google reader?

    -- I think I might be missing something when it comes to tagging a
    blog post...Is it correct to assume that if I want to tag a particular
    post with, hypothetically, a tag named "Digital Audio", then I would
    actually have to click on the "Add Tag" or "Edit Tag" button at the
    bottom of a post, then manually type in "Digital Audio" every single
    time I want to tag a particular post with that tag? If so, is there
    really not a way that I can simply drag a post onto a tag that appears
    in my subscription list? If not, doesn't this seem a bit tedious? What
    if there are 10 posts in a single feed, one appearing just a couple of
    posts right after the next, that I want tagged with a particular
    tag...I have to manually type in the tag title for each and every one
    of them?
