This research presents the social network analysis result of the interaction network in the virtual community. The data come from a real virtual community. This research analyzed the structure of the interaction network in the virtual community, explored the problems or issues under the network structure with subgroup analysis, and tested correlation between the members’ position in interaction network and sharing amount. The social network analysis reveals that the structure of the interaction network and the different issues under the all kinds of the interaction in the virtual community, and statistical analysis indicates positive correlation between the members’ position in interaction network and sharing amount in the virtual community.
