A reverse blog is different from a traditional blog, which is created by a single, specific author (i.e. blogger). The blogger will write about a given topic and other users may view and sometimes comment on the blogger's work.
A reverse blog is characterized primarily by the lack of a blogger on a site providing blog-style content. The number of comments must be limited in order to differentiate a reverse blog from a forum. This number of comments must be fixed as well. These are the primary and necessary characteristics of a reverse blog. The reverse blog is also commonly called an inverse blog.{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2010/03/28/quora-has-the-magic-benchmark-invests-at-86-million-valuation/ |title=Quora Has The Magic: Benchmark Invests at $86 Million Valuation TechCrunch; |date=29 March 2010 |website=TechCrunch.com |access-date=2011-12-05}}
