Fishing? like hoping a whale sends back a big sum or something?

Yeah, it's spam, clogging up the block chain. It's like junk mail, a total nuisance.
If you look at the blockchain link you'll notice they tagged the address they sent from, it links to their website. They're trying to advertise their Bitcoin-accepting Forex website. They're using the Blockchain to spam essentially, kind of fitting seeing as forex sites have a reputation for sending spam emails.

Trying to find active BTC addresses is more likely.
find more active addresses for what?
I've received many of these dust transactions. they never finalize, they are a pain in the butt, ive always wondered what good does it do the person thats doing this? i know that multibit just kicks them out now, but still I hope they arent trying to find a security flaw or something..
There was one set of dust transactions that happened several months ago that was sent from addresses that were associated with addresses of known gambling sites. I would not discount the theory that the same rationale is behind a lot of these types of transactions. 
It really isn't a donation spree. It's merely advertising. And threads like this prove that it's working 
Interestingly the entity seems to be sending Bitcoins to every address that's tagged on Blockchain.info!

What's the point of that?
Tracking who owns which address and eventually discovering the identity of an address.

Seems like a newbie trying to amaze everyone/ trying to get everyone's attention. He is member of this forum too, I suspect.
I also received a small amount to one of my addresses.
What do you mean by fishing? How can this benefit them?

i noticed someone sent me .00001 btc recently.. it hasn't been verified yet actually. looked up the address and he's made plenty of donations, and some signatures contained links to peoples' accounts on here. thanks, whoever it is. so far .238 btc have left his account.
