SEO: I thought Google looks at Title Tags and uses the Title Tag in the Search Results?

It only shows you the intelligence of the Google algorithm.

Their goal is to provide more information to their users, and having "Home" in the title tag is definitely NOT helpful and not saying anything to the Google users as to what to expect from the site.

Instead of using simply the title tag, Google sometimes grab a line from the content (as in this instance), or sometimes grab the title and snippet from the Open Directory (DMOZ) if the site has an entry (not necessarily this site).

Even for the description metatag which typically is used as the snippet in the Google search engine results, if the keyword being searched for is not in the description, Google skips the description tag and pulls out a line from within the content where the keyword appears.

Google looks at the entire content, not just the tags. So you can't say that just because this is in the tags that Google will automatically use that. It can ignore the metatags if they don't have the keywords being searched, as shown in this case.
