I've noticed that this tooltip does not work for mobile devices. Any work-around?

How can this technique be used so that it could also work on mobile devices. (You can obviously not hover on n mobile device.) Any ideas or best practices I can use for this?

The :focus property (placed after :hover) allows users to touch the links for a tooltip, since hover does not work on mobile.

Tested on Android Chrome, Firefox and Ghostery and it worked.
