I'm going to bag the NVU website too, but for a very simple, easily corrected error -- the TITLE tag says it's "For Linux". The *page* says it's "for Windows, Mac and Linux", but how many people would be turned away by that title turning up for instance in a search?

Sometimes I think I'm the only person left who reads titles... I come across sites every day which have meaningless and/or identical titles, useless as bookmarks or in browser History lists, let alone in search results.

Every single page on MySpace.com has the title "MySpace.com". I just found a great interview with Jane Espenson on AICN, and the page title is "Ain't It Cool News -- View Article". I could go on...

Part of any site review should be checking that each page has a title which is both meaningful and unique.
