  When I attempt to post a link from my blog (any, I have 3 that I update), the titles end up duplicating in Google+. Posting to Facebook, however, doesn’t have an issue like this.

  All 3 blogs have the latest Jetpack (2.0) installed. Before this update, I never had an issue with this.

  I’m not able to reproduce the title duplication. Could you please try viewing Google+ using the Chrome browser to see if that fixes the issue?

  If the problem persists, please provide a screenshot of what you see on Google+ and indicate where the duplication is.

  You can upload the screenshot to your WordPress.com site’s media library or send it to us by email.

  Here’s a copy from my iPhone using Chrome. It looks the same on my desktop using Chrome (beta channel), Firefox (beta channel), and Safari (final) on OS X 10.8.2.

  

  All of my titles in the header are set as follows:

  <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

  Thank you for providing the screenshot – I can see what you mean. I have let our engineers know about this and I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.

  Thanks! I should have provided a screenshot originally; sorry about that!

  The duplicate title is appearing because both Yoast’s SEO plugin and Jetpack are rendering open graph tags – and the first title is being appended to the second in Google+ instead of being overridden.

  The problem can be solved by disabling open graph rendering for one or the other. Here’s the code for disabling Jetpack’s:

  add_filter( 'jetpack_enable_open_graph', '__return_false' );

  Let me know if you have any more questions :).
