On yahoo I looked it up and found a few threads on different sites about it, I guess they had problems with their DNS. It's supposedly back up, but I still can't get it.

I've used it several times today, and haven't noticed a problem.

Maybe it's only certain regions. Every other site works just fine fore me, except google.

I'm having horrible problems with pages loading (especially images) in most of my favorite sites tonight, although Google is working fine for me. I did install the Vista service pack 1 this morning and everything has been getting progressively slower ever since.  :(

I am noticing issues to places other than just Google.  Sites won't load all the way, etc.  Probably something to do with ads servers not DNS'ing or some such thing.  As to why some folks have it working and not others, that could be due to the way DNS caching works.  If something happened to be cached on your primary DNS server, then you would not notice certain types of issues, while others, whose DNS servers do not have the cached entry, would have problems.

I've actually noticed that with myspace (before I quit using it), and maybe some others. Myspace will not load at all. Over I agree that internet seems to have slowed down.

Yeah, the issue I had with pages not loading is gone, as well.  My guess is something DNS related but who knows.
