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.
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.
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 a…
edit: good remark. Memorypools are links too. So if you create two memorypools with the same name, they will "point" on the same "desktop" as expected :)

Hey ryiytrye, thanks so much for your feedback. I will make my possible to figure out how I can solve that bug. Also, I'm currently implenting the icon move, copy and paste. Stay tuned (it's for tomorrow) ;) edit: good remark. Memorypools are links too. So if you create two memorypools with the same name, they will "point" on the same "desktop" as expected :)
Two more issues: http://i.imgur.com/uBpTr0m.png - somehow managed to get two links superimposed ("meteor" and "j"), and moving blocks of links took a rather long time.
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.
I really love where you are going with this. Overall idea is pretty solid, I would say unique even though it is like win8.

No problem, it's been fun playing with it :) Two more issues: http://i.imgur.com/uBpTr0m.png - somehow managed to get two links superimposed ("meteor" and "j"), and moving blocks of links took a rather long time.
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).
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 app…
Thank you, your feedback is very valuable. May I ask you which piece of software do you use for that?
I can't speak for anyone else, but these days I use bookmarking as a contingency, in case I remember later and need or want the link to whatever. So, I'll bookmark just about anything and everything I might possibly remember, regardless of real value or intention. In the past, I used bookmarks to represent an active intention to go back and follow up on whatever, so I would carefully curate and organize my collection.
Your project seems like it would be very useful for the latter. And these days, for me, the latter comes up most often when I also intend to share the collection with others. For example, sharing a set of bookmarks to websites covering candidates or ballot issues in a local election.
