The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which Andrew Tonner, technology editor and analyst, and Austin Smith, consumer-goods editor and analyst, discuss topics around the investing world.

In today's edition, they discuss how Procter & Gamble is showing itself to be a continually innovative and dynamic company in a stale market space. It's getting involved in cell phone-based coupons, which not only demonstrates its willingness to adopt cutting-edge business moves but will also bring it valuable and targeted consumer data.

    does anyone really prefer to watch/listen to people talking about a stock instead of simply reading it?
