She kind of just came out of nowhere. It seems that randomly Notch just said "Some random Youtuber with pink hair is now part of Mojang for no reason!". Was there a reason she was picked over someone like the Yogscast?v.
...she seems to have some talent speaking at events and such.
She evidently misplaced that talent while at Minecon. Yes I'm sure she's a wonderful person, etc., but she was not very good on-stage and was completely out of her depth.

It is her job, that is what she was hired to do, many months ago. She organizes Minecon and the Game Expo stands, also she goes to award seremonies in the USA that Mojang can't attend.
She is Mojang US so to speak.
And I know she's a good public speaker, but she came out of nowhere O_o.
She has been on their payroll for quite some time now, she has had a Mojang twitter profile pic for months and writes some of the Mojang.com blog posts, her real name : Lydia
Do keep in mind that she was one of minecraft's early gamers aside from the yogscast. She is also an inspiration to me. She doesn't care about her haters and such. And yes, she's a wonderful person.
Her personality aside, it seems she shouldn't have been in charge of handling Minecon. There are a lot of reports about how it was a horribly managed convention. She may well be a great person, but that doesn't give her experience in these sorts of things.

I think I'll show up at a random gaming convention and see if Notch hires me.
Probably not.
I really think they hired her to try unsuccessfully to get gaming to look more gender-neutral.
Yay, three infinitives in a row!
