Who is nominative case; whom is objective case. Use "who" when it is the subject, and use "whom" when it is the object. For example: Who did this? Who are you? To whom did you give the money? Who gave what to whom? Who killed whom? Who's on first?

Whom is the object pronoun and who is the subject pronoun. (eg - Who is speaking? To whom am I speaking?)

Thats the formal grammar but these days a lot of people skip the 'whom' form in favor of just 'who', and thats becoming more and more acceptable.
