I can echo bitcoinget as a worthwhile way to get some btc to play with.  They have videos that pay 1000 satoshi each and are only a couple of minutes long.

One issue though is it pays out once per day, so you can get a lot of low value transactions.  It would be better if they would let you select which day you wanted to get paid.

This "dust" issue is something to look out for as you use faucets.
