"Hubski.com - Feed", "Hubski.com - Submit" Seems unnecessary and cluttery.

Yes! I was going to make my own comment, but I figure I'd get my views across better if I piggyback (pardon me).

I often have lots of tabs open. LOTS of tabs open. At any time. It's how I browse. I've been looking into "tree tab" extensions, but I don't feel like learning a new browsing style. Oftentimes, the website thumbnail on the tabs go away because I have so many tabs open. The simple "feed" and "submit" are lifesavers when it comes to finding tabs.

I think that if we inverted the order: "Feed - Hubski.com", we'd get the advantages of a clear title and still get something usefull if the titles were croped when to many tabs are open.

Well if you bookmark a page and see it a week later with the title "feed" then that doesn't help remind you what the page is about. Also it's important in terms of branding. I don't mean in the sales or marketing sense, just in terms of people familiarity with the things they use. It helps build an attachment to the things we interact with.

There is an argument for reducing the title to something like "Hubski - Feed" or even just "Hubski", but i'd argue that either one is an improvement.
