I like this notion of the desktop metaphor being extended to bookmarks. Actually I was quite disappointed to see that Google missed this trick with their new Chromebooks, preferring to stuff app links into a bar at the bottom of their desktop. Your approach makes a lot more sense.
Quick bug report, there is a display issue when one's browser window (or screen) isn't wide enough, it chops off whatever is meant to be at the right hand side at the top: http://i.imgur.com/GfNtJcv.png
Another issue is that sub-memorypools with identical names can be created. Not sure if that is intentional or not.
Also a suggestion, I think that dragging a bookmark icon on top of a memorypool icon should move it into there.
Really like it, few bugs though:
You can drag an item to below the fold and it extends the screen and adds a scrollbar. This then causes the logout and the number (which is?) next to it to stack looking weird.
It's weird having to drag a select box to select only one item. Took me a minute to figure out you could even do that (remembered it was based off desktop) but before I was grabbing one, moving it, and then dropping which leaves it selected before I could delete.
Folders have a %20 in the name at the top once you enter them, but no on the icon display.
Since I still buy into the benefits of the spatial metaphor, I like this kind of stuff.
But, lately, I've been moving to a more search-driven experience where I can add content/bookmarks/files/whatever to the system and forget about them until I need them later, so I'm not sure if this would scale to the number of bookmarks I've been adding lately.
But, still, neat. At the very least, I see some potential in this approach for curated "launchers", sharing sets of bookmarks with others.
Great idea!
I'm reminded of http://www.allmyfaves.com/ (although you've obviously improved on their concept dramatically). If you're looking for a way to monetize your project, I believe they do pretty well just off of affiliate links (for the ecommerce sites).
I really love where you are going with this. Overall idea is pretty solid, I would say unique even though it is like win8.
As for feedback I saw in comments so far, first thing would be search and organizing in groups like win8 does. Then tagging as alternative way to organize would be good. Overall really nice.
Nice, this will be good combined with this Chrome extension [1] to set a custom URL for new tabs.

Interesting idea, but I find that spatial systems are problematic for people like myself who end up falling behind on their organizing.
Personally, I use a tagging model because it's easy and quick enough to catch back up.
Nice one.
Can we have a bookmarklet or chrome extension for this? Just a click and the website should be added. I'm using G+'s +1 for this so far.
If I make a mistake in the address it will not let me delete or edit the address. I also get logged into other users bookmarks.
If the title/label is very long, can you make a tooltip to show the whole label/title on :hover? Much appreciated.
Oh, god, the color scheme...
It's down at the moment.

Now.it can be done even better by adding a windows 8 or spotlight style search :)
