As we celebrate the day of love, it's no surprise that Valentine's Day has stolen the show on Google searches this week.

But what's really interesting is that searches spiked on February 13th - perhaps a few Coasties were scrambling for last-minute gift ideas or romantic messages?

It's not all about love, though.

Our community's passion for sports is clear, with the Super Bowl, UFC 312, and NZ versus South Africa Cricket all generating major buzz online.

And with the 2025 Super Rugby season kicking off tonight, we can't wait to see how the Blues team will fare.

On a slightly different note, it seems some of us are looking to the stars - or rather, potential threats from space.

Searches for "NASA asteroid hitting Earth" have been trending, reminding us that there's always more to explore and learn.

What's on your mind, Coasties?

Are you celebrating Valentine's Day, getting ready for the Super Rugby season, or exploring the wonders of space?
