Abstract: The present article is a review of recent developments concerning the notion of F{o}lner sequences both in operator theory and operator algebras. We also give a new direct proof that any essentially normal operator has an increasing F{o}lner sequence $P_n$ of non-zero finite rank projections that strongly converges to 1. The proof is based on Brown-Douglas-Fillmore theory. We use F{o}lner sequences to analyze the class of finite operators introduced by Williams in 1970. In the second part of this article we examine a procedure of approximating any amenable trace on a unital and separable C*-algebra by tracial states $mathrmTr(cdot{P}_n)/mathrmTr(P_n)$ corresponding to a F{o}lner sequence and apply this method to improve spectral approximation results due to Arveson and B'edos. The article concludes with the analysis of C*-algebras admitting a non-degenerate representation which has a F{o}lner sequence or, equivalently, an amenable trace. We give an abstract characterization of these algebras in terms of unital completely positive maps and define F{o}lner C*-algebras as those unital separable C*-algebras that satisfy these equivalent conditions. This is analogous to Voiculescu's abstract characterization of quasidiagonal C*-algebras.
