    YouTube Changes Design for Some Users [VIDEO]

    Does your YouTube homescreen look a little different Thursday? That's because Google is testing out a design of the site that focuses more on categories. Only a very small number of users can see this temporary version, for which YouTube is collecting feedback.

    Google announced it would be experimenting with the new layout starting last year. That design is morphing over time into the modern day cable TV with the addition of an "add channels" button and the option to select your favorite channels.

    But YouTube says it's listening to user feedback. (Clearly, they don't want to create a Bitly type situation.)

    YouTube sent Mashable this statement regarding this recent and temporary change: "With more videos coming to YouTube every minute, we're always experimenting with ways to help people more easily find, watch and share the videos that matter most to them. As always, we'll consider rolling changes out more broadly based on user feedback on these experiments."

    Are you noticing the changes? What do you think? Tell us in the comments.
