Meet the people behind the Internet. We watch their videos and read their blogs -- but we often have no idea who they really are, where they come from or why they do what they do.

Until now.

Yahoo! News' "People of the Web" series is profiling the most fascinating people online: people like Kirk Cameron, the "Growing Pains" star-turned online evangelist; Jill Leovy, a Los Angeles blogger on a mission to cover every murder in the county in a year; and William Sledd, the Web's hottest fashion guru -- just to name a few.

"People of the Web" is reported by multimedia journalist Kevin Sites, whose award-winning "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone" war reporting project on Yahoo! News broke new ground for journalism online.
