17. The Social Media Hat
Besides its curious name, the The Social Media Hat blog also has content focused on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram – although it deals with digital marketing as a whole. Despite being recommended by sites with the Social Media Examiner itself, the page seems to have a confusing layout, which makes it difficult to access the content. On the other hand, it has unique content types, addressing angles from a non-standard point of view.
18. Social Mouths
Just like blogs like Viver de Blog e RazorSocial, the Social Mouths addresses the subject in a more "cool and fresh" way than most blogs on that list. As stated on the website, "the goal here is to provide a lot of value without conning anyone". Despite this, the blog does not seem to bring different content than what we see on other websites.

20. Buzzsumo
Another one of the biggest digital marketing platforms like HubSpot, Buzzsumo also has a blog of their own. Unlike other international blogs, its coverage is considerably large, addressing smaller or more niched social networks – such as Medium - as well as tutorials of its own tool. It's a great way to gain insight on different aspects of digital marketing without having a specific focus. Our recommendation is to check it out, but also follow blogs with a more specific focus, such as Jenn's Trends.
