Remou's answer was VERY helpful for me, but it caused a problem: It doesn't close the Internet Explorer process, so since I needed to run this dozens of times I ended up with too many IEs open, and my computer couldn't handle this.
So just add
wb.Quit
and everything will be fine.
This is the code that works for me:
Function GetTitleFromURL(sURL As String)
Dim wb As Object
Dim doc As Object
Set wb = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
wb.Navigate sURL
While wb.Busy
DoEvents
Wend
GetTitleFromURL = wb.Document.Title
wb.Quit
Set wb = Nothing
End Function

I am not sure what you mean by title, but here is an idea:
Dim wb As Object
Dim doc As Object
Dim sURL As String
Set wb = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
sURL = "http://lessthandot.com"
wb.Navigate sURL
While wb.Busy
DoEvents
Wend
''HTML Document
Set doc = wb.document
''Title
Debug.Print doc.Title
Set wb = Nothing

By title, I meant the content within the <title></title> tag of the html page. I will try your code out.

@redGREENblue that is what you will get from the above.
if you use Selenium :
Sub Get_Title()
Dim driver As New WebDriver
debug.print driver.Title
End Sub
