The user's online interaction frequencies reflects the strength of the relationship between users.The social tie strength is classified into strong tie and weak tie in most previous work. Those classifications are not suitable for fine-grained measurement on social tie strength, and it will limit the scope of networking-related applications. To address this problem, this paper presents a social tie strength calculation method based on the online social interactions. The types and frequencies of users' online social interaction are utilized to calculate a quantitative value to represent the tie strength between users. Experimental results on real online social network data show that this method can effectively calculate the strength of the relationship between the user under a specific online social application scenarios.}
