I am not sure if someone asked for this or not..
To prevent any abuse to the story's title... why don't you make a curl/wget request to the URL that a user is submitting, and get the title of that URL/page automatically?
So... user won't have any control over the title when submitting a link.
In fact I need this feature.. because I am tired of copying the title of the story that I submit! :(
What do you think?
