I think it's an anachronism. I've interviewed well over a hundred candidates for various engineering positions, and it's extremely rare to get a follow-up. The few that I have received came across as kind of stalkerly. But maybe that's just me. The only situation I can imagine sending one is if a couple of weeks go by and you still haven't had any response after the interview (which usually isn't a good sign anyway.)

What kind of follow ups have you gotten that seem stalkerly? Usually when I send them, I just say "Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing more about the position."(albeit more professionally). If they say, "Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing more about the position-perhaps when you arrive tomorrow at 8:15 in the parking lot? I'll have your favorite latte in hand" then I would agree that it's stalkerly :)
