    It's not META title and Title but It is META Tag and Title tag...
    Title tag used for displaying text in Title-bar...
    and META contain many sub tags like Description, Keywords, etc...

    You can use META title different with Title, but it's hurt your SEO, and make Google bot think that you are trying to Cloaking.

    META TITLE = makes a webpage title

    TITLE = makes a tooltip text for an element

    Meta title is for the search engine and the title tag is for the visitors. but its not necessary that Google bot will always take the meta title all the time.

    I agree with you digitalwebman that meta title is used for search engine and title tag is used for visitors.if you want to search a site on a search engine then meta titile will help you.and title tag helps for visitors to tells about the sites.

    IMO if Google does not show your all Title in SERPs then you can use Meta Title, like if your title is 60 characters long with spaces and Google shows only 20 characters in indexing then you can use Meta Title, I had this problem now it has been resolved

    The Title Tag is expressed as: <TITLE>Page Title</TITLE>
    The Meta Title Tag is written as: <META NAME="Title" CONTENT="Page Title">

    Usually the text of both the Title Tag and the Meta Title Tag, noted above as Page Title Here, will be identical.

    Title tag are very important toward achieving high search engine ranking.The title tag is a most powerful on site seo technique you have.Every single web page should have its own title tag.Meta tag are not actually appear to affect your search engine ranking.Meta tag are often part of coding of a website,although they are being found less and less this day.It can be used to detail the page description, keyword and other data.

    Title is the phrase outside of your META tag, while META Title can be seen in your code. Search engines are more focused in knowing your META Title in order to know what your website is all about. Meta tags are the blocks which contain information about the contents of your web page and they exist into the head area of your web page. They are basically meant to communicate with the search engine. Most of the Meta tags are visible to the search engine only and not the visitor on your web page. But, Title tag is one which is visible to the search engine and the visitor as well. Most importantly, it attracts the search engine and the visitor very aggressively.

    If you are talking about the meta title then it means the title that you see in the top left corner in the browser window. That is what you will see in the search results.The title tag is what shows as a little tip when you hover the mouse on top of it.

    In my opinion, Title and meta title are different. While title is used for users and appears in browsers and snippets, meta title are for bots and SE’s and provides additional information about your website.
    <head>
    <title>Example Title</title>
    </head>
