Right now Google (and other sites as far as I tried them) is still OK, and (not surprisingly) those network functions you suggest behave normally too. Unfortunately, I didn't run them while the problem manifested itself, so I cannot provide more info on that condition.
Update: things remain OK today (Sunday), but I still have no clue about the cause of yesterday's Google glitch. As if to keep me on my toes, I ran into a missing airport issue with the MBP reviving it after an overnight battery calibration, but a simple reboot eventually resolved that. Pfff...
