There really isn't any "news" or "blog" functionality for AC7, so there isn't anything you can RSS. The only thing I can think of that could be RSS'd would be specific catalog categories.

I'm currently in the process of integrating a full Blog engine into AC7. It has all the nice RSS features - I'm sure it could be used for news bulletins.

Xigla.com sells some .Net components that would give your site a news feed capability with RSS support. Xigla products aren't the easiest to integrate with AC7 though, so be prepared for a stiff learning curve if you go that route.

Sorry to be so late to the party, but I've been working on the same thing. There is a plugin for Firefox called Dapperfox, which can product an RSS feed off any HTML page. I haven't worked with it a lot, yet, but it seems like it could be promising. There's a you tube video about it here:
