I second everything that sun wrote.
Flag is even more simple than other de-facto core modules like CCK, Views, and Panels. You can flag pretty much everything, use it for favorites, flag contents for moderation, track most flagged contents, flag users or contents as abusive, or just mark everything you'd like to mark/flag/tip on your site. Flag just does this, in a perfect manner.
Let's wait for another generation of the module, and move it into Drupal core afterwards! :)
This module simply works. Think of it as a fully extensible 'sticky' system. Just as you can flag a node as sticky, with this module, you can setup any number of custom flags.
By default, this module as a link to $node->links which allows you to 'flag' and 'un-flag' the node via ajax. Of course through the UI, you can control exactly what text should be outputted for each state.
The beautiful thing about this module is its integration with views and actions. Through views, you can make a flag act like 'sticky' or only show flagged nodes.
Flagging is also a trigger for actions. Meaning that you can execute any number of actions whenever a node is flagged or unflagged. With the combination of actions and views, it seems like there is always a use for this module.
The only complaint I have is that this module only accepts binary data. You cannot create, for example, a three way flag. Of course, this could be done with taxonomy, which brings up an interesting point of if this module should use taxonomy. However, given its current state, this module is amazing.
I was looking for something like "Editors Pick" or "Tip of the Day", today I finally found it.
It´s very easy to install and configure.
So if you are looking for something to flag your content as something special, so any user regognize this right away, this is the module for you.
"These days, Google Analytics is essential for a website. Get an account and this module. Set the code..."
"Just the answer I needed for a new website I was making. Well, the domain is new but the content old...."
"This module more or less allows you to write mini-modules in a GUI. Having them written by Rules instead..."
