These are some really interesting reflections. I'm going to make a start tomorrow on working out some sort of story / case study template for capturing examples of YouthWork 2.0...
Would love to hear from anyone with an example to share...

Ooooh - we're actually working with a client on the very thing... sorry I can't tell you more at this stage but you've hit on all the major issues / areas for discussions / development :-)

that sounds exciting DK - look forward to when you release it to the public domain.
Tim - it would be interesting to get some ideas on how we think the web is going to develop too and the possibilities that will bring (web 3.0+). I see theres lots of debate about the walled garden approach (facebook) and data portability which could have a big effect on whether youth work would have to operate within those existing networks or take advantage of the data young people have already put up online and build 'virtual youth centres'.
I'm really interested in the informal education route with the web as the tool and how this can be done with online experiences beyond whats already out there.

another report out today - this one on "Young People & Social Networking"
You can download a 37 page or a 9 page version from here:
Finally I found someone sharing the same goal. For more than three years the youth department of the city of Helsinki (among others) has provided virtual youth services, including not only the sites to put out information but virtual meeting places where the young are able to discuss anything with professional youth workers. And the service has been succesful: the workers are continuously seeking out new opportunities to answer the increasing call. Unfortunately, there are only a little information on virtual youth service in English but I am working out papers as fast as possible. Stay tuned.
