Google is having problems this evening?
This evening I’m getting slow response or connection timeouts from Google for the past half hour or so (20:30 - 21:00 PDT). Usually this means that the local network is having problems, but other major sites (Yahoo, CNN) are running as quickly as ever, along with various SSH sessions around the world, so it seems to be specific to Google.
So far I get slow or no response from the main search page, Gmail, Adsense, Adwords, Analytics, and Finance.
Pages that do respond are coming back in 10+ seconds, and some pages are loading without graphics or with templates only and no content.
Anyone else seeing these problems? This is the first time I’ve seen Google unusable for more than a minute or two. (Unlike this site, which has been bouncing up and down due to problems at Dreamhost lately).

Funny, I saw just the opposite! No Yahoo properties were responding for me (including Flickr), but all Google ones were quite fast.

I noticed Flickr was slow / flaky for a few days while they’ve been working on their servers, but Yahoo has otherwise been working for me. Google was still misbehaving last night until at least 10pm when I wrapped up for the evening. This morning it seems to be back to normal.
