Google Reader & Blog Search

I could not use the functions of Google Reader so well, I apologize guests of this blog about my shared items are confusing.
However, if you have time, please click ウエディング and Vienna Boy's Choir. Both these two links Austrian National Tourist Office's website. The former links Japanese homepage, and the latter links English homepage. Then, please compare the list of "(Home>Plan>)People & Tradition" , in Japanese "人と暮らし." You will find the contents in the lists are different. I think this difference can be an evidence of how information is selected and slanted (Birk1,2).
If you are interested in or writing about Culture Shock, I recommend you to click By:Amy. At the top of this homepage, an American woman who lives in Germany shows cultural shock in Germany. She explains details of her experiences, but this article is easy to read and interesting.

Lastly, I think Google Blog Search and the main function of Google Reader that telling us about new items of many blogs are useful for us. But, the function of sharing items is not so much useful. I do not know how to make folders in Shared Items, how to change item's names, and how to share the whole blog (not only items) by that function. If we can do these works by Google Reader, I really wont to know how to do that.
