I would use a forum/newsgroup/chat system for young people.
And if "web" does not need to be www: you could e.g. log an IRC 
chatroom. This is technically easy because there are command line tools 
available so that you could pipe the traffic into a file.

If you are not used to IRC, I remember the IRCNet to be a network with a 
lot of well visited channels. A starting point could be
http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=IRCnet

But: IRC is not representative for normal use of language ;-).
