Any thoughts on helping shape the product?
Will it works like the Facebook Like button? Except it will Flag content?
If there is no code required them I'm guessing you'll follow the the facebook model and grab the URL which the user is currently viewing as the identifier for the content being flagged? Otherwise you'll need the site to provide their own custom content id.
Abuse is going to be another obstacle. If everything is client side then you really can't stop any sort of abuse since you can't authenticate that the user is who they say they are. I suppose you could get away with logging the IP address with the flag request. That way its just a tiny bit hard to sent more than one flag request.

Pretty much.
We're going to have an awesome backend that the site administrator can take a look at all flagged content and choose to delete it or not.
We're going the embeddable code route and we're going to experiment to have sites provide their own custom content ids.
It could be abused, but so could your own manual flagging system. We'll be giving priority flagging content to users who do a good job @ flagging content (like karma).
