I had an interview recently and was advised a decision would be made within 24 hours. For this situation, would it be acceptable to send a thank you for your time via email?

ok i see several answers here but I think you are all missing my point. If a decision is made within 24 HOURS what is the best way to send a thank you when it will not arrive via mail that fast.

Absolutely. DO send a thank you email. Business people very seldom send each other cards for business communication.
Business people do send Thank You cards to each other if they got a baby shower or wedding gift. So, email is definitely appropriate for your purposes here.
Further, as you noted, you can send an email immediately. If you attach your contact information to the email, the hiring manager will have it in electronic format for easier search and retrieval.
EDIT: Lastly, DO send the email from a serious/professional sounding email address, and NOT from "snookybear1982@juno.com" or ""xbox_gladiator@gmail.com".
I question the professional judgment of job candidates when they don't have the good sense not to send a prospective employer an email from such an address when it's easy enough to have multiple e-mail accounts.

It's best NOT to send the Thank-You by email because it is too impersonal. What you want is a brief personal note which will help you to stand out in their minds, especially if they are undecided.
Because so few people are thanked for doing the job they are paid for it makes a really nice touch.
There are two examples of how you might write your note on this page: http://www.your-career-change.com/Cover-letter-examples.html

In this day and age, e-mail is VERY appropriate, particularly if this is a "technology" company, or a company on the cutting edge. Yes, DO send a thank you e-mail thanking the interviewer for their time. Since you know this person on a "quasi-chatty" basis, they would probably expect it from you.

If the interviewer was just an H.R. "screener", I would not send a thank you. If the interviewer was actually the hiring manager, then a brief thank you and expression of continued interest is OK.

Hey, dont do like that. At thsi crucial moment, as per the HR ethics its not a right thing...
Just keep relax and have confident on yourself...
Whatever you thought to say, you must have told dat in the interview itself... Now everything is outat your hands and dont risk your career for an experiment....
All the best for you...

I don't think its correct to send ANYTHING! Its almost like a little bribe of sorts...
I was interviewed a month ago at a Leeds branch and was interviewed by the Leeds manager but got a job in Glasgow...... as I wouldn't be seeing the Leeds manger again but he'd recommended me to Glasgow I sent him a thank you card.... but that was thank you for giving me the job!!!

no
there's no need to thank someone who was paid to be involved.
