From the README:

📚 A federated network to bookmark, share and discuss good web pages with your friends.

It's getting harder and harder to find good web pages. When you do find good ones, it's worth hanging onto them. Linkblocks is your own small corner of the web, where you can keep your favorite pages, and share them with your friends to help them find good web pages too.

🔭 Linkblocks is in an exploratory phase where we're trying out different ways to make it work well. You can try it out, but big and small things might change with every update.

Vision

• On linkblocks, you can organize, connect, browse and search your favorite web pages.
• Share carefully curated or wildly chaotic collections of the stuff you really really like with other linkblocks users and the whole world wide web.
• Follow users with a similar taste and get a feed of fresh good web pages every day. Browse others' collections to discover new web pages from topics you like.
• Annotate, highlight and discuss web pages together with your friends.
• Mark users as trusted whose standards for web pages match yours - and then search through all trusted bookmarks to find good pages on a specific topic. Add trusted users of your trusted users to your search range to cast a wider net.

See this blog post for more on the vision behind linkblocks.
