Someone just told me that the Google doesn't read past the pipe symbol. I find that hard to believe. Is this true?

lol... you should put that person on your "nofollow" list.

I can't 100% confirm that it does but...

Pipes have been used as separators for years. Many sites still have "Sitename.com | Real title here", so I can't see why it wouldn't read it.

I'm assuming you are referring to using the pipe symbol in Title tags, correct? If that's the case, Google does not care about pipes or dashes in the Title tag. Here is a video from Matt Cutts explaining this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2_7PTio3Qc

You may run into problems if you are using pipes in your URLs, so in that case, you should use hyphens instead. - http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/023052.html
