Death of a Meta tag Salesman
Caught this story on /. this morning. Two articles on the end of the usefulness of keyword meta tags; An End to Metatags (Enough Already, Part 1) by Traffic.com's Andrew Goodman, and the answering Death of a Meta Tag by Search Engine Watch's Danny Sullivan.
The take away is that expending energy on creating the perfect meta keyword tag has become a pointless exercise, with only one major search engine—Inktomi—still paying any attention at all to this much abused method of increasing listings rank.

so what are supposed to use for search engine titles then?
