Both Brians make good points. <div><br></div><div>I agree an empty +1 email could be noisy. </div><div><br></div><div>One point about the email feedback, I think in the case of new presenters the act of speaking can be intimidating because there are many possible things to talk about and the speaker doesn't know what the group wants. Thus there's a tendency to be very "open" and talk about anything. A shot in the dark if you will. Email responses from the group can help narrow the focus. But then again emails that do this are not empty "+1" emails. </div>
