When I look at my own behavior, I realize that I when I'm skimming through Google reader or friendfeed, I look at titles only - then drill down if they grab me. The other thing about titles that Ria Sharon taught me is to always include "How to" in the title. Now, she was half-kidding about this, but think about it: When folks need an answer to an urgent question, they go to Google and type in something like, "How to unclog and overflowing toilet".
