Paul,
Regarding your first point:
This title could use editing if any title needs editing - "Fuck Facebook Conversion: Be platform agnostic and use your own APIs. "
I appreciate that the title of the blog entry is such, but then the site doesn't look clean with this title. I must also say, I think this aspect of the new changes might be a tad over zealous perhaps even anti-septic.
Regarding your second point -
Titles are made to tempt people to click and most times the original blogger or author might use such a ploy.We might use the original authors title and he may be doing the spinning. How far down the line can you edit? Again the "Fuck Facebook" title is a case in point.

I urge you to reconsider the editing. Thoughts?
