Yo creo que me gusta internet está bien dicho. O no decimos me gusta comer, me gusta bailar, sin necesidad de poner artículo.

@Alexls: Los infinitivos no carecen del artículo cuando sirven de sujetos, pero los sustantivos, sí.
Cuando sirve de complemento directo o de preposición, no hay necesidad de ponerle el artículo. 'Buscar en Internet' está bien dicho, p. ej.

Estoy de acuerdo con Rusty.

@Alexls: No es el mismo caso. Internet es un sustantivo, no un verbo. No decimos "me gusta comida" ni "me gusta baile", sino "me gusta la comida" y "me gusta el baile".

Gracias por la clarificación.

It's funny that once something makes sense, something else pops up.

No ha de faltar mucho para incorporar el neologismo al DRAE.
