I say email the person who set up your interview.
Telephone may come across as either nagging, or desperate, neither of which is good.
Email shows that you're interested, maintains (somewhat less) personal contact, and doesn't put the recipient on the spot in an uncomfortable way.
Thank them for their time, tell 'em how much you enjoyed meeting them and discussing the position/company/etc with them. Try to come up with a genuine question about the job that shows both that 1) you're still interested and 2) that you care how the place is run. Just be careful that your question doesn't make you sound nit-picky or difficult to work with. If you do that, they'll probably *want* to answer your question, and you're instantly more memorable than almost everybody else they've talked to.

From a hiring manager's standpoint, sometimes a phone call is hard to answer. Lots of times managers are not at their desks, have other people around, etc. An email would allow me to answer when I had the proper time to give my full attention and not "put me on the spot" while the caller is waiting.

I always send a thank you follow up letter as soon as i get home. It shows you are interested in the job and you can add any points that you feel you missed in the interview. If I hadn't heard from them in a week, i will generally call them.

Send a follow up. Telephone is more personal but email may get a better response.

Don't email. They will think badly of you for making them have extra spam. Everyone likes to get letters so that is good. Follow up with a phone call after they get the letter.

send a formal, professional thank you letter - gives you an extra chance to put your name in their minds and gives you a chance to plug any positives and if there was something brought up in the interview that you feel you didn't handle well, you can deal with it again.
like - I've looked into the ABC class that you mentioned and have registered... or whatever

Defiantly call. P2P contact is the best.

I would call instead of e-mailing. It would be better to have one on one contact.
