Find in this article the 100 most influential blogs in Brazil. We have chosen 10 topics with the 10th most influential blogs to introduce you.

Background

Blogs are spread on the internet, but many people just do not know the difference between a blog and a website. Well, you can find blogs and websites about anything, you just have to search a bit on the internet and done, you will find both deal with the same thing.

It is important to know that blogs can be done by anyone, dealing with anything. A teenager or an important company can get a blog to talk about their interests. The first blog was created in 1997 by Jorn Barger. Many blogs started as diaries and in the course of the time became opinion formers.

There are many influential people that work for companies, magazines or newspapers and also have their blogs, a place where they have more freedom to write and expose their own opinion. We selected the most famous blogs and also the ones that most form points of view on the Brazilian people.

Economy

There are many blogs about economy in Brazil, but with no doubts, the following 10 are the ones most accessed. "Mirian Leitão" and "O economista" are the ones that makes more success in Brazil due to the combination of economical articles with an easy going language.

Politics

Most Brazilians are not much interested in political issues. However, there are a few people who really wants to get informed about politics in the country. Here are the ten most accessed blogs from influential people in the Brazilian political scenario. The one I would like to highlight is "Noblat" blog, as it is very much popular on the internet.

Traveling

Brazil is a good place for traveling on your own or with your family and friends, so it is really difficult to select only ten popular blogs once there are several blogs approaching traveling matters in Brazil, with different destinations and good programs. We have decided to introduce you what we like the most among the popular ones. "Melhores Destinos" does not only inform about good places to visit, but also the blog always warns readers about airfare promotions.

Fashion

Fashion in Brazil is something really strong for those who love being "in". There are much more than ten influential blogs in the country, but these ones are the top blogs of the fashion world in Brazil. Highlighting "Garotas Estúpidas" and "Julia Petit" that talk about fashion for everyone, with an easy language without losing the focus.

Religion

Blogs about religion were created as a way to get closer to young people. We would like to highlight in this topic "Paulo Ricardo's" blog, who has found a good way to talk to his public, making use of videos and good texts.

Music

Brazil is the country of the mixed cultures, and when it comes to music it would not be different. We found many blogs talking about very different styles of music. If you want to learn a bit more about popular Brazilian music, "Casa do Axé" is all about Axé, a style from Bahia state and "Eu amo Mpb", that talks about popular Brazilian music too. But remember that you will need to use a translation tool, once these sites are only available in Portuguese.

Culture and Entertainment

Culture and entertainment are mixed on the web. We have chosen blogs as "Soul Negra", related to the beauty of black women, as well as blogs only focused at online entertainment, as "Dr. Chapatin".

Health

Blogs about health are mainly focused on women and family. You will notice that there are two blogs with the same name, the first one is from a company, and the second from the government. Both with a very good quality.

Sports

Blogs about sports in Brazil are mainly focused on soccer. It is difficult to find a blog that deal with other subjects being famous in the country. Fábio Sormani blog is one of the exceptions that talks about basketball. Juca Kfouri is a very good and polemic blog as well. This list is completely full of awesome writers about soccer, and sometimes other sports.

Relationship

Blogs about relationship are very famous in Brazil. Their audience is mainly formed by young people, and differently from what we used to believe, this kind of blogs is not only for girls, once boys are showing to be a high audience. "Casal Sem Vergonha" is a blog that deal with relationships for couples, and for boys and girls looking for a relationship.
