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.

Thank you, your feedback is very valuable. May I ask you which piece of software do you use for that?

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
