What if there was a mode where you could play your single player maps with guests and friends? Beat the crap out of Creepers, mine together, show off your house, ask your fr13nd if 7h47 n00b w4n7'5 70 1v1 m3? u w4nn4 1v1 m3? u w4nn4 1v1 m3? u w4nn4 1v1 m3?
Have mine-cart races, help build your house, get your friend to jump into a pool of lava, sit in a hot tub and talk, and do whatever you want.
Have an option for guests to join, who look for people's co-op game to join, chose whether or not they can do anything to your blocks (add, remove, etc), and same for friends. It would be pretty fun!
Have mods and cooperatively shoot Ghasts from your cannons towers, have your friend try to storm your castle while you shoot him dead, etc.
Yes you would have to make a server. Notch could add a button that ran the server software automatically (not like its hard to download and run) but if you want to play with people not on your local network you would still have to do port forwarding (there is no acceptable way around port forwarding). All this button would do is save you from clicking here, downloading the server and running it (oh copying your save file from C:/users/<yourusername>/appdata/roaming/.minecraft/saves to wherever you run the server from)
Step 1: Set up server and make your world the servers world (MANY tutorials)
Step 2: Click 'Multiplayer'
Step 3: Type in IP of server
Step 4: Click 'Connect'
That wasn't so hard, was it?

2. There's a much better version of this idea

You can't explore your map with friends in multiplayer.
SMP is also:
-'CO-OP' mode.
-Multiplayer.
-Singleplayer with more players.
-'Play with your friends' mode.
-LAN (Only give your IP to people nearby.)
-etc.
Honestly... It sais muliplayer when you start the game. It's not that hard to figure out that multiplayer is also these things.
Can we stop suggesting something that is already in game?
To where?
Maybe you could look it up? Shouldn't be too hard to find a tutorial with google or youtube.
Wouldn't you have to make a server?
Yes, but there are also many tutorials on how to do that.
