Yeah there are people that make a living (or try to) collecting satoshis out of those things. There's still a few around. One of the ones still going is at freebitco.in.
Of course nothing will ever compare to this, the first and grand-daddy of all faucets:
Whats cool is you can see an archived version of what the faucet used to look like:
Of course it was abused and emptied before too long, LOL.

For my first Bitcoin coding project, I decided to do something that sounds really dumb: I created a web site that gives away Bitcoins. It is at: https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/
Five ฿ per customer, first come first served, I've stocked it with ฿1,100 to start. I'll add more once I'm sure it is working properly.
Why? Because I want the Bitcoin project to succeed, and I think it is more likely to be a success if people can get a handful of coins to try it out. It can be frustrating to wait until your node generates some coins (and that will get more frustrating in the future), and buying Bitcoins is still a little bit clunky.
Please try it out and get some free coins, even if you already have more Bitcoins than you know what to do with. You can get some and then donate them right back; the address is:15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC

I just shut down freebitcoins.appspot.com; it looks like somebody in Spain is being a jerk and getting a new IP address, bitcoin address, and solving the captcha. Over and over and over again:
