So, I interviewed with a Fortune 100 company on Feb 17 and they said they would let me know the status of my application within this week. As you know it has passed Friday and I have yet to hear a response from them. I know I should wait to hear a response because there might be some troubles deciding the best candidate.
I went to glassdoor.com to see the interviews that people had for a certain position in that company. And it just so happen that one person posted about not receiving a job offer for the position I was interviewing for. Also, I know that individual was my with me that day when I was interviewing because of the description of the post and it was posted within this week.
Did you send a thank you email letter?? I would call them this upcoming Friday and ask for an update. I would not stop sending out my resume if i were you. In fact, don't stop until you get a job offer.
Why wait? You should not commit to any one company until they've at least made a verbal commitment to you.
As for what's going on, there's probably a ton of candidates and the manager is still conducting interviews while still performing his/her normal managerial duties. Or the manager went on vacation. Or the HR person in charge of your profile is sick. Or the company is restructuring. Or there's a big deadline. Or...
If it's a big company, thank you emails are pointless. The only email contact you'll have is HR and they will not forward useless emails to the hiring manager.

Not so fast. Often HR vets incoming resumes, but the interview is actually performed by the hiring manager and my experience is that the hiring managers card is always given to the applicant.
If this was the case, I hope the applicant has already sent a thank you email to the hiring manager.
I do agree that the OP should keep applying for jobs until they have at least a verbal.

I usually don't get business cards from the interviewer. Maybe I have once or twice.
But then again, I wouldn't bother sending thank you emails anyway.
Deus,
Corporate America is funny. These interviews can go either way. Sometimes you think you hit a home run after the interview, and yet someone else (i.e a person the manager knows with less skills) get the job. This has happened to me. The sad things they told the recruiter that was the reason I didn't get the job.
I would keep searching while you wait for them to get back to you. Try to get as many interviews as possible, which increase your chance of being hired at a company.
Good luck
