For example, when I first started out freelancing a year ago, my business card had my name, email and website - and up top a list of the technologies I'm comfortable with. In retrospect I don't feel this was a wise decision. Why would a potential client know what Python or Ruby is? How could he know what .NET was?I still have a couple of the old batch left, but I'm going to send out for some new cards.What do you recommend we developers have to show on our business cards? Am I correct in thinking listing technologies is meaningless to potential clients?
What should a freelancer's business card have?

I don't agree with putting a list of skills on a business card.  That's what a resume is for.  Also, it makes it too easy for the card to go out of date -- much easier to update a separate resume, either online or otherwise.  I usually have business cards printed in batches of 500, which last quite a while.On my card, I have my own company name, my domain (where there is a button labeled My Resume), name, physical address, email, cell phone and fax number.  Underneath my company name, it simply says, Contract programming and consulting.
