With the increase of smart phones, getting a mobile site for a business may be the next smart option. From a social media angle, having a mobile site may be more luring for the tweeters to view it on their smart phone. So when you are creating a mobile site, what other things do you keep in mind to make it more enticable for the Tweeters and FB updates?

Good point, — and as notes, keep the message short. For social-driven mobile traffic the visible preview and the landing experience matter more than desktop-style bells and whistles. Focus on three things: fast load, controlled share previews, and thumb-friendly actions.

Practical checklist:

  • Prefer responsive design (single codebase) so links behave the same across devices and search engines recommend it. See Google guidance: Responsive design basics.
  • Control the social preview using Open Graph and Twitter Card tags so your title, description and image look good in feeds. Use a clear, high-contrast image (roughly 1200x630 for Facebook; Twitter prefers similar landscape images) and a short value-led description.
  • Prioritize speed: compress images, minimize redirects, enable caching and critical CSS. Faster pages drive higher share-through and lower bounce on mobile.
  • Make CTAs thumb-friendly (target ~44–48px), single-column layouts, large tappable buttons, and avoid intrusive interstitials that hide content on phones.
  • Offer native sharing where possible (Web Share API) so users can share quickly from their phone.
  • Track and debug shares: use Facebook Sharing Debugger and Twitter Card Validator when previews are wrong, and add UTM tags to shared URLs for analytics.

Example meta tags to control previews:

<meta property="og:title" content="Page title">
<meta property="og:description" content="Short 1-line value proposition">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/share.jpg">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

If previews are missing images, clear caches and re-scrape with the platform debug tools. For quick mobile share buttons, check the Web Share API: Navigator.share.

That's actually a good question. Tweeters like it short and sweet. I'm interested in gaining perspective on this. Good question.
