Making the Web Seem Like...A Web

Is there a bookmark organizer that works like a mindmap tool?
I've been looking for a creative way to browse and bookmark websites. I have a lot of bookmarks that I'd love to organize in a "mind map" way, akin to a huge web (imagine that). Such a program would allow you to create links to websites, which you can simply move around on a "giant whiteboard", clustering certain ones wherever you like. I'd like to do this because I'm a very visually-oriented person, and I feel current bookmark organization systems are quite limiting.
The closest I've found is an add-on called "pearl trees" for Firefox. I've tried it and found it so far to be unwieldy. (Perhaps it is very young?) Though it seems like it has some great things going for it, adding a website seems to take a while (long loading times) and trying to place the different links in different areas of the "board" seems impossible.
Does anybody have any ideas where I can find something similar? I have a feeling I am the one crazy person who craves for something like this, but just in case...
P.S. Doesn't need to be a bookmark-sharing site/application. If I'm the only one who sees my own links, that's fine.

Response by poster: Thanks for the link, zachawry. This looks interesting. I'll give it a try.
