There are many websites working as alternate of youtube like tune.pk , dailymotion.com etc but some pakistani developers has did an wonderful effort to make ishowtube. ishowtube.com is not a video sharing website but through this website you can view all videos available on youtube. The surprizing thing is that google did’nt index this site in search engine. you can never search ishowtube in google search engine.
