It is just a difference in vocabulary. Both hold funds (ie. down payment) in escrow for closing and both will ensure a clear title before closing.

What happens if the title company declares bankruptcy after receiving funds from the sale of property?
I am unaware of any reason one would have deposits with a title company...they are not a bank or investment business. ----------------------- On the West Coast, escrow accounts are a very large business. These escrow accounts are typically held at Title Companies. If a title company goes BK I am sure there is some process for how to recover your money....assuming the reason they did go BK was a result of the owners draining the accounts and heading to Rio. I would consult an attorney if you find out that a title company has a deposit, or escrow, etc. and then you hear they are going BK. Sometimes (depending on the jurisdiction), creditors will be paid based on the timing of the claim...in other words, first come, first serve. Also, you may want to check and see if there are insurance companies that guarantee the performance of Title/Escrow Companies. I am assuming these companies have bonds with bond insurers and ultimately you would get your money.
I am trying to buy a car on Craigslist and the seller wants me to use a amazon escrow service I have never heard of this is this ok to do?
Amazon do not offer an escrow service. The whole thing is a scam. There is no car, the advert on CraigsList is fake, designed just to get you to use his fake escrow service website and steal your money. Here are some examples of the fake escrow websites.
Can you get a title loan on a salvage title?
Most banks or independent title loan companies will NOT give you an AUTO loan or consider the car as collateral on a Salvage title car. Some dealerships have been know to sell salvage title vehicles and submit the title for a loan, unbeknownst the bank or the vehicle's owner. This is not illegal in some states. Always ask to see the title when purchasing a used car from an unknown dealership.
Where can you get title insurance quotes?
You can get title insurance quotes from by doing a search on google or other search engines for title insurance and visiting one of the websites that offer title insurance quotes. There are some companies that will give you multiple title insurance quotes from more than one company by filling out just one form, and there are other companies that offer you one quote from their company. It is a good idea to shop around for title insurance companies and this is a great way to find and compare title companies and title insurance costs.
House will close in 2 days not on the title but escrow has payout insructions topay you your share now some one has a judgment against you can they get any money even through you are not on the title?
No, only the title holder's judgments are going to be a problem. If you are just a payee, I wouldn't worry about it. IF at any time you WERE on the title, however, yes, that constitutes a lien, but ONLY if that lien was filed during the time you were on the title.
What is an escrow state?
There are two main types of real estate closings for purchases of residential properties. One is the traditional closing and the other is an escrow closing. In traditional closing states, like Georgia for example, the buyer and seller and any other interested parties come to the closing table at the appointed time for the transaction, sign all necessary documents and the transaction is completed. The property title changes hands and the money (lender's or buyer's) changes hands as well. In traditional closing states on a purchase there is one closing and funds disbursement which finalizes the transaction which is generally referred to only as "the closing". In an escrow state, like California for example, all of the stipulations for the transfer of the property and funds are cleared prior to the day of closing. Important documents and funds are held "in escrow" by the assigned escrow agent until the time of the closing. If all stipulations have been met according to the escrow instructions (created between seller, buyer and lender) the closing is final, all funds are disbursed and the sale is final. The closing is generally referred to as an "closing of escrow". Not to be confused with with other types of escrow the escrow closing includes all documents and monies required to facilitate the loan. Escrow may also mean earnest money given to the buyer's agent during the contract period which is applied to the closing costs or purchase price. Escrow may also mean funds held by the escrow agent after the closing to be applied to an upgrade or repair on the property being purchased. Finally, and very importantly in any state, there is lender's escrow. This is a specified amount of funds held by the lender to cover the cost of taxes and insurance on the property being financed. Many times the property owner can ask to have escrows waived which some lenders facilitate for a slightly increased interest rate to help mitigate the risk. In this case the lender will require proof of insurance and taxes being up to date on the property. See a list of escrow states at the related link provided below.
