The following code will help you site when you are shareing your site on facebook and twitter.
Place this code in the header of everypage.
My theme uses a include called head.php in the elements folder. By adding the following code you will get different infomation for each page.
<?php
$siteName = Config::get('concrete.site'); //Gets Name of the site
$page = Page::getCurrentPage();
$title = $page->getCollectionName(); //Gets the title of the page
$description = $page->getCollectionAttributeValue('meta_description'); //Gets the meta description of the page
$url = $page->getCollectionLink();//Gets the URL of the page
?>
<!-- Open Graph -->
<!-- This is facebooks default app ID, it stops facebook showing errors in the debugger below -->
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="966242223397117" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php echo $siteName ?>"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo $title ?>"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo $description ?>"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo $url ?>"/>
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="<?php echo $siteName ?>" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="<?php echo $description ?>" />
<meta name="twitter:url" content="<?php echo $url ?>" />
<!-- You make an iamge and upload on your site which will always so for facebook and twitter when your page is shared. -->
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.yoursite.com/images/facebookimage.jpg"/>
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://www.yoursite.com/images/twitterimage.jpg" />
You can now test your code and see what results you get. For Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

I have expanded on this code to add images for each page, which i will try and update soon.
