How is this different from similar projects like http://www.govtrack.us/ ?
Right, so govtrack.us does a pretty good job providing information on activities in congress. It's a great research source.
This takes a very different approach.
RepWatch.us actively builds a profile of how accurately your reps advance your views based on the correlation of their votes on issues with yours.
It's essentially a way to illustrate a politician's actual stance compared to yours, and by so doing help counter the problem of our short political memory.

So could you see something like this being useful? And what am I missing?
