I will be using this feature the moment the update comes out! ( Update 2.0 releasing Tuesday October 28th ).

Sony detail the new update and explain one of its features ( Share-Play ).

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/10/24/ps4-2-0-updates-share-play-feature-showcased-and-explained-in-new-video/

Share-Play feature:

    • Share Screen – Share your screen with a friend, allowing them to spectate. This is ideal for PS4 owners that want to watch their friends play a game and provide helpful tips. PlayStation Plus is not required to use this.
    • Hand over my controller – Pass your controller to a friend, virtually, and watch them play. Your friend does not need to own, or even download the game, in order to use this feature. This is perfect for introducing your friends to new games. The host will need to be a PlayStation Plus member, but the guest does not.
    • Hand over another controller – If a game supports local multiplayer, you can have your friend join as player two. Again, the visitor does not need to own, or download the game in order to use this feature. Both players will need PlayStation Plus to use this feature.

    Update 2.0 will also feature a lot more new content such as YouTube app which allows players to upload their gameplay from PS4 straight to their YouTube channel, themes, updated share factory and many more!

Just saying, these hashtags that Sony fans insist on using on this board are getting sadder and sadder (and more and more contrived).

That said, SharePlay is a very cool feature, and a genuine innovation, so I will give Sony that, even if it is a lot more limited than I would have wanted it to be. Now if only there were some actual damn games on the PS4 to use it with...

EDIT: Actually finalstar, you are late too, as there is already a thread on this. Sorry buddy.
