i agree, it initially was like that, then i thought the experience would be better by using the title to identify a post.

Internally, represent the articles as IDs. This will eliminate duplicate posts, though not necessarily duplicate articles linked in posts. You can periodically fetch and cache the title pretty easily, since the ID is most of the (interesting characters in the) URL for the page.
