Pros
That you can see what your representative/senators voted for on different bills. Many of these never see the light of day on anything.
Cons
I can't really think of anything since it's pretty new to me.
Summary
Back when I started college, I majored in Political Science and one of the most eye-opening facts - even back then (late '60's - early '70's) was how hard it was to keep track of what is going on in government and alot of people my age decided that they weren't going to vote in spite of the fact that there were alot of issues not just the Viet Nam War. This is great for me because I want to be aware of what is going on in the Congress.
Great - shows how closely reps votes match your vote

Pros
Bills are summarized, links to additional information is provided. You can e-mail your representatives right from the site. If on your phone, you can call. Your phone or iPod touch syncs with your computer. Really a great eye opening program.
Cons
I wish more bills were presented for vote. I wish there were ways to track earmarks.
Summary
This is the best way to really track how your legislators are voting. They may talk a good talk but do they vote the way they talk? Being able to have the app on a phone or ipod touch and synced with your computer makes corresponding with your legislators much easier. If you have a problem (I accidentally deleted one of my legislators) they respond very quickly. I think this program is going to enable an informed public to hold the feet of their legislators to the fire. No longer will their votes remain largely anonymous to the majority of their constituents. Visible Vote -- Excellent name. Excellent program.
What a GREAT IDEA!

Cons
