I read something similar as well.

As far as I understand it +1 only works with users signed into Google Accounts, so it will depend on the number of people that use your site and who are logged into their google accounts at the same time.

+1 is part of Google's social play so if people +1 a site it is likely to have an impact their personal results in future and possibly that of there connections within other Google services. Its also feasible for Google to look at +1 as some sort of positive indicator for a site and in conjunction with a persons existing profile within Google services give that some form of weighting. I don't see that being much different to having a lot of people "like" or "tweet" about your site both of which are already used with the various search engines ( Google and Bing / Yahoo).

As +1 has not been rolled out yet with the site buttons etc. It's very much guess work as to the overall impact having none, some or a lot of +1's will have. If it was me i would focus on all the normal stuff with regard to running a good site while keeping an eye on +1 when released.
